Be aware that OEM versions will cease to be activated through the Internet starting next month. You'll have to call M$ and get an activation code from a real person who'll play 20 questions with you.

M$ wants that OEM copy to stay with the original computer.

I updated Dell OEM SP1 to SP2 now problem, this block must be something recent... received latest updates for SP2 on Saturday.

Got a nice slipstreamed version with SP2 already installed. Bring it on M$.
