So do you think it should install OK even if I don't have any product key
serial number.  It might be a while before I try installing it on
something.
  I bought it because of the price and as a backup because of what MS is
doing with licenses for virtual machines.  I figure when I make the move to
Linux that should I need windows running in a VM on Linux for some of my
old faithful windows and dos programs that Workstation 4 ought to run
pretty fast in a VM.  What do you think?
