I've got an officially licensed installation of XP, still ready to run, but I haven't started it in 2 months.
As far as I know it's not an OEM one, and it's base is XP professional SP2.
At the moment I have no need for a swap... I run Windows 7 now....
I can completely disable / delete my XP partition, and PM you the serial.
Then you can try and see if it works... I wouldn't know for sure, but I guess Bill can only conclude in the end that some Dutch geezer took 2 months to move to the UK and got himself 'new' hardware in the process... would that work?
(BTW, do you also want 2 Guillemot ForceFeedback sticks?
They work fine with XP!)
Oh, wait, I now see I bought it directly from Microsoft, and it's registered under my name... oh dear...
How strange is that friend of yours?
Hm, maybe not such a good idea, sorry...
