Hopefully this is the right area...
What is the difference between OEM and Full Versions of software, in this case Windows XP Pro.
I know the basics that you get the CD with the EULA and proudct key with no manuals but I am looking for a bit more details.
1) Can this be installed on ANY PC regardless of it's make/model/etc. The reason I ask is I have a Dell Win2K CD that when I tried to boot from a non-Dell PC it would not let me.
2) Do you HAVE to do a full/fresh install of the OS (or any package) if you get this version?
3) Any reason NOT to buy OEM, seeing the cost is 100% better and you still get the same product.
