If I bought this, could I use it to repair the damaged OS's of any WMC PC, provided it has a key attached to it? Btw, is WMC bootable? My friend lent me a backup copy of his, just so I could do repairs, but it doesn't boot from disk, only works from the desktop...
Windows Media Center OEM

It is bootable.
It can be used to install on other PCs with their code - providing they have bog-standard OEM Media Center, and not branded (Dell, HP etc) MCE pcs. These have manufacturer-specific codes that don't need activation - and only work with the disc with the relavent oembios.bin file to check the BIOS.

Yup doesn't matter of the CD itself, as long as you use code from that machine. ie I could carry XP Pro SP2 disc and install it on machines, as long as those machines have individual licenses. I don't have to use the physical CD that came with that machine (in fact corporate ones don't come with hundreds of discs, you just have a few corporate discs which IT admin install)
