At newegg.com, there are 3 types of WinXP Home License. The
Upgrade, and OEM are priced a little under $100.00, while the full
Retail is almost $200.00. I have Win98SE. I would like to do a clean
install of WinXP without first installing Win98SE. Does the Upgrade
version allow this? Also, I constantly do upgrades to my system like
new HDD, mainboard, CPU, videocard, and such, but not at one time.
Would I still be able to use the Upgrade, or OEM version when doing a
componant upgrade. Only one PC is ever assembled at my house, so only
one PC would ever have that copy running at one time.
If the OEM version is a throw away OS, then MS should only
charhge $40.00 for it since you can't install it but on one PC ever,
even if that PC no longer exist.
