hello-

i have had fusion siting around for a year. now that i am getting better, i want to install my Microsoft fitness and nutrition software for my fitness/wellness coaching job. I want to use Fusion, PERIOD. 🙂

Does anybody know where I can get a legal copy of XP Pro with its on OEM Number or whatever it is I need. I can't use the copy that came with my Dell desktop because it was installed by Dell, if I understand.

In order to use Fusion I need this copy of XP Pro first or I need it to use Fusion. I do not want Vista. Also, I saw that XP has a SP3 now. Will the new copy of XP come with the SP3?

Thanks

Keep in mind, those OEM copies are not resusable on a future machine. It's basically a generic version of the stuff companies like Dell and HP use (it's aimed at computer shops and people who build PCs to resell them)

If you want a copy of Windows as your second OS, or for a homebuilt PC for your own use, you are supposed to get a retail copy:
