what makes you say that? Dell sent me both a windows vista CD and a Windows XP cd. Vista is installed on the computer now and i have not even opened this CD or ever used the CD key it comes with.

will this work on any old dell pc however? my wife's laptop had the oem operating system wiped off her pc and replaced by a non-authorized version..don't ask. so she's looking for authentic and licensed xp version. not sure how much ms would charge just for a certificate of authenticity...thx.

Hi yes it should work. its basically for anyone either looking to downgrade their dell from vista to XP or someone that needs an authentic xp license.

I did the same thing, it turns out when you give them your Service TAG, the CD they send you has the drivers of that particular Laptop/PC and only will work with that chipset. I tried it on my other dell and HP, and it was a no Go. My laptop could only read it which I didn't really want to format originally. Could be different though, that's my experience with it. I was surprised how easy they send me the CD, then I realized the catch was that it only works for ur PC so no selling or playing around

this is the operating system cd. it says it has no drivers on it.

They specifically sent me this CD with a brand new windows XP license when I told them my pc was supposed to come with windows XP and not vista. Now that I decided to keep vista i will just put this up on ebay i guess.
