Some OEM disks check for something in the system that identifies the hardware as belonging to a maker so it really might depend on the vendor. You could test it by installing Virtualbox in Windows as by default Virtualbox identifies itself as a generic PC. You'll definitely need the licence that came with the machine for it though. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "TBA are particularly glib"
