Win7. Some have said that, unlike XP (OEM), Win7 (OEM) does more than just check computer brand. In the past, XP HP installs moved to a Dell would not boot, but would boot just fine on any other HP. OEM Win7, it is said, will check other things such as BIOS s/n to determine if it has been bootlegged. I have not yet been able to verify that. -- Science - A methodological way of observing at the world Theology - A systematic way for interpreting the world -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
