I purchased a Home Edition full retail version (non-oem) and find the Country of Origin labeled as Ireland on the COA. Is it safe to open? Will it work OK in USA? Or should I return?
 
The COA is not green, it is white with light blue and grey security pattern in the background. The box is green.

It was - and it's perfectly legal. It's odd that it's on sale in the US
though. Ireland (Dublin to be exact) is the manufacturing headquarters for
Europe.
 
That's a relief, however, the original question is whether it will work OK on a US manufactured computer and/or are there any differences between the US manufactured XP product and the Ireland manufactured produc
