Qui,

You can't use a Dell OEM key on a non-Dell system. It probably won't pass activation and it definately will fail WGA Notification.

Nuts:
I put Windows 2000 SP4 on all my charity builds. No activation issues, and Microsoft hardly cares if you install multiple copies of a 6 year old OS.

Recently? Have you tried to do a Wndows Update? You used to be able to do that, and you may be able to activate it, but it shouldn't pass WGA. An I wouldn't want to give someone a system that will be popping up the WGA nag on him.

Sometimes it works Penguin, other times it does not. WGA doesn't work very well at that, I have seen it report legitimate versions as non-legitimate, more than once.

Granted but I still wouldn't do that to someone when there's a chance WGA might start nagging him down the road. It's only going to get worse. And if you want to be a legal stickler (not that I care) it actually violates the EULA to install a CD key from an OEM manufacturer on any system other than the one it came with.
