I just phoned MS to get an activation key for XP on my rebuilt PC - and they
won't give me one. As I have replaced the mobo with a different model they
say that it invalidates the use of my OEM XP Pro version and that I'll have
to buy a new OS.

They say if I need to transfer XP across to a new machine I need the Retail
version. Hah!

Amazon prices:
Retail XP Pro (SP2)   250.00 UKP
OEM XP Pro (SP2)    77.00 UKP

Mutter, mutter..
