heya all
vista is released tomorrow and i just had a thought: i have a oem version of xp home i got with my dell installed at the moment, will i be able to simply get the upgrade version of vista?
secondly i'm giving my current computer to my parents in a few months, with the oem version of xp. i'll then be making my own computer. the computer my parents have at the moment did come with a oem version of windows but we lost the disc so we got a mates disk which microsoft didn't like so we had to pay for a genuine version which they sent to us.
how do i kno if thats a full version of xp and can i use it on a 'virgin machine'? crucically it has its own cd key... does that mean just so long as i unistall it from the current machine i can use it on any other computer?
