<<You have the same copy of XP installed on two computers? Are they networked together? I know MS has been lenient at times for home users with the Pro, perhaps they are getting better still.>>
Peter....the Corp version does not include activation and therefore, can be installed on many computers. I'm sure that must be the one that Ted has. It's probably the one that Clint has too, since it's the one that was most pirated BECUZ it doesn't require activation...therefore, it's the one that gives a lot of people trouble when they try to install SP1...it seems even the non-pirated versions give some people trouble.....Microsoft evidently went way overboard when they tried to make SP1 unavailable to illegal users....from what I hear, if you have a legal copy and you call MS, they will give you a new product key
You can install XP Home and Pro on multiple computers successfully, provided you keep doing it every 30 days :) What a nightmare that would turn into don't you think?
I have a friend who has XP and ran into a problem installing SP1 as he had installed XP too many times on his machine with client hardware tests. After a very long call to MS he was able to rectify the situation. I heard he had activated enough to warrant a substantial volume license purchase.
Then a little later he did purchase a volume license as he expanded to 10 systems. I should inquire as to how their installations went.
