Anyone ever bought and installed those OEM versions of Microsoft's Windows XP or any of their operating systems?
The price is right at $125 at NewEgg for the Windows Media Center Edition 2005. When I viewed the licensing agreement it says you must be a system builder. I take it anyone who builds a computer is a system builder. This is for distribution to another party I guess.
What I'd like to know is will these OEM OS packages install as a complete generic stand alone operating system? The price at $125 is what's making me a bit apprehensive.
I'm thinking of purchasing this Media Center Edition for my upcoming media computer build, figuring this would work nicely with this project.
