Vista OEM
Will the Vista Ultimate OEM reinstall another system like the XP OEM does? I had a customer that his pc crashed and I have an OEM (not with me at the time) and he has a valid prod key on the side of his box, will it reinstall Vista Home Edition?

As far as I know it will but I have only used OEM discs from the computer manufacturers so far.

It should. I would only be careful if it's one of the big box companies as they often use bios authentication, making the usage of a CD key unnecessary.

Another question, does the ultimate version OEM contain all the versions of Vista and the key dictate what version is actually installed?

Ferrit does this mean I could take my Ultimate OEM cd and reinstall a Vista Home, Home Premium, Business or whatever version using their key and it be installed to their version?
