re: Comment about WinXP OEM CD Monday, September 22, 2008 at 8:11 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2210 messages posted) The first CD I had for XP (as I recall) was the generic OEM for small system builders (which includes myself, although I build only for myself, some family members, and an occasional friend). That CD is still in use, on one PC or another to this date, with no hiccoughs I can recall about hardware changes. As I have several PCs, I also have several XP CDs, mostly XP-Home. .
