Nope, that is NOT true, you nead a licence for the exeading windows version. that means you are even alowed to run windows 95 if you only have a windows xp home licence (instead of //// not alongside) user model look somthink like this. if you have windows xp (home edition) you may also use, windows ME, all versions of 98, 95 and preseding versions like win v3.11 if you have windows xp (pro edition) you may use xp home, but also windows 2000 pro, and windows NT 3.0 3,5 and 4.0 (workstation version) if you have MCE you may juse also xp home (not pro). But again only instead of, not along side ..... This means whoever has WinXP & Win98SE licence are welcome to use my Win95/WinME files I don't want to break any laws thats why i'm asking.
