Subject: Re: Windows XP Media Edition OEM
I know if I had spent years & years developing a brand name with a decent
enough reputation [whether you like the rep or not] I sure wouldn't want
some back wood hick to remove all the branding info that I placed on the
machine. Heck, this hick brands the boxes that I sell & I wouldn't like it
if you removed all that info. I sure would
I did not come here to argue the legalities etc. of doing clean installs on
name brand computers, but to ascertain the feasibility of obtaining a
Windows XP Media Center OEM CD.
Some of those who consider my clean installs as wrong have no problems
slipstreaming XP with SP2 using media other than what is furnished by
Microsoft.
I may be forced to purchase a Windows XP Media Center kit. The only areas
that are questionable to me are when there are massive hardware changes. In
most clean installs there are no hardware changes, unless I upgrade the RAM.
Whatever I do, it will be legal, using the customer's COA (even if I
purchase the media from my supplier, ASI), and I already know I will have to
call Microsoft during the authentication process, so I will have their
approval. I do inform Microsoft that I am doing a clean install on a name
brand computer in preference to running its restore process.
So who is my daddy? Is his name Bill?
