Correction:
You CAN mix and match CDs and Product Keys, as long as all Product key types
are the same.
Example 1:
Two XP Pro CDs, both having OEM keys. In this instance, either key will
work with either CD
Example 2:
Two XP Home CDs, both having Retail keys. In this instance, either key will
work with either CD
You CANNOT mix and match CDs and keys, if the keys and CDs each are
different types.
Example:
Two XP Pro CDs, one having an OEM key, and one having a Retail key. In this
instance, the OEM key will not work with the Retail media, and the Retail
key will not work with the OEM media.
In other words, it's the Product key which makes the largest difference, not
the media
