I have just purchased, from a trader I have dealt with for years, a copy of
Windows XP Professional 1-2CPU OEM Product.
Installation was a dream HOWEVER the Genuine Windows Validation software
hated it and implied it was counterfeit!
My trader is horrified and says that the dealer, he purchased it from, says
he got it from Microsoft. He has offered to refund my money but where can I
buy a legal copy if this one is not? Have there been any other problems with
this genuine thing? Is it not possible that a genuine Microsoft version
could have been cloned before they released it?
 
Is your version of Windows XP genuine?
