You can, but not interchangable from OEM to Retail to Upgrades. FE OEM key can be used in SE OEM, and vise versa.

Heh.. reminds me of this time at a previous employer when one of my coworkers was missing a key for some Windows version, so I told him that I'd bet I could randomly enter some characters and have it work. He looked at me as if I were daft, but I entered some random characters, and it actually worked...

On a different note, anyone have their windows keys memorized?

Ive got my 2K key memorized.....its a weird feelingknowing that you have brainpower thats devoted to knowing a string of otherwise insignificant numbers.....
