Hi, David.

Bits are bits. They don't have nationalities. The machines in Singapore
stamped the bits that they got from Redmond.

Just be sure you install the en-US version, not the en-AU or pt-BR or one of
the 20+ other versions on the DVD-ROM; those will run Vista fine but if you
are a typical mono-lingual American - like me - you might not be able to
read it. That's why the opening screen in Setup asks where (in the world)
you live and what language you use.

Hi, David.

No. If it is a genuine Windows retail package, it will validate fine, no
matter where it was made.
