I have purchased IBM computer with oem windows xp professional
installed on it. I want to change language version of Windows. It is
now English. I made an experiment. I installed Polish version of
windows from another CD. During the instalaltion I entered product key
from English Version. Installation and registration ended with no
errors. There was no messages that windows is illegal. Looks good but
is it really legal ?

Is any legal solution of my problem apart from buying new windows?
Maybe MUI ? Does IBM distribute MUI for their computers ?

regards,
Damian

Sounds perfectly legal if the Polish CD is also legal (ie not stolen etc).
 
CD is original but borrowed from another PC. Original Windows is
distributed by IBM on recovery partition - there is no install cd.
 
It cannot be denied that said:

If you also own the other PC, then no problem IMHO.
