Stewart,

Unless something has changed over the last year or so, the only bootable 
Windows OS I'm aware of were version C... Think we're splitting hairs 
about OEM. I'm referring to an official Microsoft release, but not the 
one's given out with clones or sold over the counter.

Version C, the only bootable one I know of, was provided with a major 
manufacturer and sold only with new computers.
