OK, just to be clear on this. Suppose I buy a Vista Business based PC. I wipe the hard drive,
and I toss in the XP Pro OEM CD from a PC I own. I install XP Pro on the new PC, and, when
prompted, I enter the number from the XP PC's COA. Obviously, Activation fails, and I have to
call the activation number. Assuming the person on the other end acknowledges that I have the
right to do what I'm doing, I get activated. Now, two weeks later, I am installing Windows
Updates on the old XP machine, and the Windows Genuine Advantage software gets installed. Is it
going to reject this PC's license since it is on another PC? What about on the new Vista machine
running XP? Is WGA going to cause grief? I just want to be sure that I understand correctly and
that I can still use the old PC from whence the XP license number came. Thanks!
