XP Pro - Full or OEM?
I want to buy XP Pro to put on the PC I'm planning to build... Newegg only sells the OEM version, which I've been told can't be reactivated if you change the parts in your PC. Is that true? If so, where's a good place to buy the Full Version? Thanks!

Why in the world would you want to buy the full version? The software is identical.

Worst case, you would have to call M$ on the 800 number to reactivate after changing components. Technically, the license is good for that computer and you can change every component in it. The OEM license requires that the COA sticker be affixed to the *case* somewhere.

Get the OEM and get a case that you can live with for next few years. You can reactivate XP with no problems if you upgrade the componets or just need to do a fresh install.
