I have been collecting serials and disks ready for a rebuild, (new MB CPU HDDs keep DVD drive FDD case).

THis AV2000 or whatever I was attacked in the last week and AVG7 stopped it dead

remember, your oem xp is NOT transferrable (legally)

I am NOT transferring - same case, DVD and FDD

Thats a transfer - its a significantly different system.

It may be 50:50 if it activates again, but the licence for OEMs is quite clear  

Well I have choices, reuse licence, sell me XP Pro, or Linux, rather not do the last one, I run some non Vistable software (CA-Clipper in VGA graphics mode)

Legally, you cannot reuse.  I don't think its available in retail any more, I believe its still available in OEM chain.

I'm surprised that your software will run under Linux but not Windows  :-/.  Have you tried it under Vista compatibility mode?  There is very little app software I have come across that doesn't.

Vista will likely run better than XP on decent Core2 hardware.

One of the first things given up on no VESA 2 graphics mode so DOS graphics are stuffed (yes I did write a it if SW for me to use and I can't be bothered to port it)

If I can't run my software might as well have a free O/S

Most server class Linux distrubutions cost more than Windows Server

Redhat, for example, is something like £400 per year per server.

So over the standard 3yr life of a server, Windows 2008 server works out much cheaper.

That is another possibility
