    Negative. I'm 100% certain from past experience that not all OEM keys work with all XP CD's, home or otherwise.

    We've had to order in CD's to match the keys several times to overcome this issue.

    On reflection I have to *gag, cough splutter* admit you are correct. However, the percentage of those that haven't worked are very very low.

    Depends what you work with. OEM machines all have the problem re specific keys and discs needed... otherwise it would be very easy to re-use OEM stuff, which is against the licensing.

    90% of the machines I work with are OEM. Go figure.
