:) I see what you are getting at, but anyone could write on a couple of blank CD's a few names, doesn't mean they have the software though..
Hey beefy...i know what u mean...but CD's are valuable to me...i wouldnt waste them to write anything...lol...but yea they are backups "wink wink"...and legal...lol...what exactly are select CD's from MS...i dont understand ???
Many software titles do have 'corporate versions', but it is my understanding that Windows XP is NOT one of those.
I doubt MS would go to the extent they have with their 'activation' and not at least include some key information which would be trackable, or at least detectable. I would bet even something proliferating the warez community as 'no activation' would still include a multitude of crucial information when the install is put through 'Windows Update'
MS has the smartest people on earth. Windows Update is a very intimate search of what you have and what you need updated. You do the math.
Edit: oh and please correct me if someone has facts that portray it differently.
Ok, well a general understanding about corporate versions is that they are generic(or should I say anonymous--as far as not requiring a proof of purchase) in all regards. During installation, use, updates, etc.
I highly doubt that if MS is serious about stopping or at least crippling the average and above average pirate, then I don't expect they would go about making a corporate version that has no method within it to allow them (MS) to inhibit it's abuse.
