I don't have OEM's, all are original full or upgrades, only the laptops have locked in software.

OEM's are available to buy, normally disk only with key, you save by not having a printed manaul?

If your copy of XP is an OEM version then sticking it on a new machine will only trigger the activation sequence again - which is the same situation as
I am in. Although cheaper to buy the OEM version is locked to one PC..

More money in Bill's pocket, and they wonder why people are not upgrading,
or going to an alternate.

You always got the Vista route, and run  it in XP mode Ha Ha.

I think I will stick my current copy of XP on my new machine, and Linux on
this one, or maybe WinME/95/ or 98. And worry about changing to Vista at a
later date.
