Re: Windows XP Home Edition Product Key

Not so. I bought a copy of XP Home upgrade for my wife's W98 machine. For
some reason, it would not accept the product key (I bought it at Best Buy!).
Rather than taking it back, I tried the key listed on the side of my Dell.
It took. Her machine is a Gateway. Hopefully, I won't need it. But if it
comes to that, I'll try the one that came on the upgrade. Otherwise, I'll
think of something.

Also, you quoted a very old post.
Alex has not posted in a long while and I would be concerned if he
posted recently.


That's for sure. As a matter of fact, today is just two days short of
the
first anniversary of his death.

"i am offering stolen goods!!" i dont think so.. i was merely offering
people who have lost the product key to there winxp! whats the matter?
is it hard to believe that someone is offering to help others free of
charge!!! my pc was bought in cash from "curry's" for £600 and the
product key to the winxp is on the side of my pc! as for the other
person who has died (if thats true) i apologise. i dont go round making
money out of peop[le i merely try and help people. FREE OF CHARGE. and
if u think i am offering stolen goods then please contact the police! i
havwe nothing to hide and i have all my reciepts for every thing!! have
a good day.

Irene the key is no good to anyone unless you also give or sell them the
computer. The product key you have can only be used with computer that it
came with and is not transferable without the computer. This is by
arrangement between Microsoft and the company that installed the software.
It is called an OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer license agreement.
