As far as the certs go, I got a great deal on them -- 2 more and I'll get a
set of steak knives!

As for the licensing, I will admit that I am a little weak in that subject
(This is something that I will remedy). I sometimes think Microsoft should
have a certification track for licensing -- MCLP (Microsoft Certified
Licensing Professional). Cool, now all I need is one more to reach my goal.

One more thing, I can take a joke just like the next person. I have no
problem with that. But do not ever insult my intelligence again. The fact
that a person is unclear about something does not make them an idiot. As I
said I can take it, but I have read post from you before. And I do not
appreciate the way you talk to people looking for help.

Just a thought.

*SIGH* Where did you get the qualifications you claim to have - eBay?! You
don't appear to know /anything/!

If 98 was OEM then it cannot be transferred and it cannot be used as a QP
on
the new system, therefore he will need to purchase the flavour of his
choice. If 98 is retail then, as long as he removes it from the old
system,
it can be used as a QP on the new. QPs (as you should know) don't need to
be
installed, the media just needs to be inserted when prompted. Though it's
not exactly legal, as 98 doesn't need to be installed, he could leave 98
on
the old system and merely use the disc to qualify XP on the new.

He will then be required to format the drive on the old system and
reinstall
98 (if he wishes). Once he has XP on the new system, telephone activation
will - most likely - be required (unless it's been more than 120 days
between installations then he can probably reactivate online).

That clear enough for you?
