I just recently installed Windows XP Pro dual CPU edition on a machine and it was onto a bare machine. Worked fine and looked fine. When one considers that you need to cut off and arm, leg, and some really important body parts in order to pay for it then I expect something real snazzy looking. Now if I could just get over the gross security flaws and the whole "reboot now" thing.
