despite the license agreement(which is posted as a warning quite adequetly by Amazon and product company OEM sleeve, informing customers) this is essentially Windows XP full editon with only one difference, a slight rigidity to different configuatins beyond the retail. In the retail you have a marginal bit of difference in the tollerence of new components, namely a new hard disk in this you do not. otherwise, it works the same and can be installed on a partition numourous times(if it is the same partition!). If you are a "system Builder" that, I assume includes amatures like me who build for themselves too. This is also the edition given at the PC retails(if you are lucky to get anything at all from the schebs) but legally, they are supposed to issue you a full copy!

I bought this because the Microsoft OS is not supported at all when used in virtual machines. I have never personally owned anything other than Macintosh, and built my own virtual machine using this version from Microsoft. I was concerned this version would not work, but it works well as a virtual machine under these circumstances. It is cheaper than buying the full version, and since I'm building my own system, it meets the terms of the End User Agreement.
