OK a question

XP is 2000 with bells and whistles

 

[Superfluous_Nut]

But 2000 is NT with bells and whistles. That means XP is NT with lots of bells and lots of whistles. That seems like too much noise to me.

2000 is NT with a new interface and 128-bit encryption. XP is 2000 with the ability to run non-business apps. Still too new.

the copy of XP that they have at your work might not even work anyways... for starters is it an ACTUAL XP disk or is it a system restore disk??? If its a system restore disk you might as well give up now... #2 how do you plan on activating it?? Due to the new XP activation method it checks your hardware and if there are any differences it won't allow you to activate XP and with out activating it in 30 days it will not allow you in any more

windows pro does not have an activation code.

 

[The Brain]

yes it does I'm using it right now

 

[BearBryant]

i am using xp professinal right now and never had to put in an activation code. I have never been asked for an activation code. Pro allows 5 license's and there is obviosly a flaw somewhere which allows more than 5 pc's to use the 1 registration code given in pro.

 

[The Brain]

do you have a legal copy?? because there IS a cracked version of pro out there that allows no activation... is it possible you have that one??

 

[BearBryant]

hmmm...maybe that is it!

 

[The Brain]

yeah I've got a copy of that cracked version too... but I got it to install on multiple computers... I was stupid and bought my first copy... I could kick myself for doing that now
