XP Home - will this one work?
Hi,

Just wondering - will this work on a new PC (it doesn't come with an OS - which peeved me off, cos I've now gotta buy an OS - as I can't find the documentation for my current version Pirate)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/...210173201&sr=8-1

TIA

What do you mean it doesn't come with an OS - that software IS the OS!

Sorry, I mis-worded that <G>

What I meant, was I brought a new PC - but it didn't come with an OS =) I've ended up buying Vista (hopefully its good :P) - so will test that tomorrow when it arrives :)

Cheers

I bought an OEM version of Vista Ultimate a while back. It's much cheaper than the standard retail version. You only get the bare essentials - no instruction book or fancy packaging but that's not an issue for me. It's exactly the same as the retail version in all other respects.

Vista is great. 3D chess rules.
