dargon said:Yes, that is the oem version of XP Home. Be aware that OEM software is linked to specific hardware, so in the case of an OS, Microsoft is within their rights to not allow you to reactivate the OS, should you make some major modifications to your machine (such as Motherboard) down the road. To my knowledge, they've been nice about this so far, but they could at anytime say sorry bud, go buy a new copy.

Do you have a good link explaining the legal differences (aka, what you just said in legal mumbo-jumbo)?[MS] said:To be more clear...
An OEM license of Windows is tied to the first system it's installed on. Upgrades are fine, with the one exception of the motherboard (though that can be replaced\upgraded in a warranty situation). In short, an OEM copy of Windows is tied to the motherboard.
Also note that that OEM versions come with no free support from Microsoft.
