[RTTY] Windows XP Pro OR Vista?

[Bill, W6WRT]

Harvey is right. Even if you buy a new computer with a new OS, you
should save your old OS if at all possible. Microsoft may make you
jump through some hoops if you install it on a different computer, but
eventually you WILL be able to activate it. Been there, done that.
