Bill,

You are not supposed to install an OEM OS (or OEM MS Office, for that matter) on a different machine, even if you remove it from the original machine.

>OIC. We're talking oem in this respect as opposed to purchasing off the shelf that could be installed on "any" computer. But these still have to be activated and then are tied to "that" computer by hardware profiling (AFAIK) until the OS is removed from the machine, at which time I assume the OS is eligible to install on a different machine ( probably after MS has "reset" the activation ), correct?
