Hi everyone 
This might seem a little strange but I'm looking for a few original copies of MS Windows OS's but I was wondering if someone/anyone could advise me on a few things...
I'm currently looking for -
98 big box version (have some CD's but not the big box that might go with...)
XP Pro (service packs not so important...)
8.x Pro
I think I'll be able to find 98 and I've got my eyes on a 'copy' of XP Pro (original) but the one that I was having a little confusion over, was Windows 8.. There's a few on ebay (example - Windows 8 Pro Retail...) but I'm told that unless it's a company based licence, the 8 was only really an upgrade?? Is that true??
I'm not so worried if this is true, I'll miss it out of my collection but just thought I'd ask first before buying something and it being just an upgrade rather than a full OS install
Thanks to any and all help in advance
