yes you will be able to start up with it.
Would some please mind posting a pic or a link or anything official that shows a version of XP that is labeled "Corporate"?
Um, because it is sold as a single user "student" version at the U of Iowa student bookstore?Quote:

Let me reiterate. There is no difference between PRO and CORP in appearance. How do you know its not a CORP? A Corp disk is titled as XP Professional, because its essentially a volume licenced version of PRO.
How likely is it that they are selling "Corp" versions by mistake?
Just for grins, I generated a corporate key and installed using that instead of the key that was on the sleeve.
Worked fine and no activation.
Since then I have duplicated this on several other PCs.
Oh well, I am hardly an expert on MS products, just reporting what I have found to work. [/b][/quote]
When we say Pro we refer to the standard versions (retail and OEM), which are the proper Pro.
Your copy was obtained under the Educational License, and differs from normal Pro version.
The version you have isn't a Pro version, it may say its a Pro, but so does a Corp. When we use Pro and Corp we differentiate between the different activation systems employed.
The version you have is exactly the same in function as the Corp version and would be refered to as Corp version. Corp version isn't just for corporations, they are used by educational establishments and government bodies.
If it can use Corp keys then it has the same files as the Corp version that don't need activation.
The difference between a Pro and Corp version of XP is about 17 Meg of files. You can download these files from the net to turn a Pro into a Corp.

Those of us in the know ;) It's how we differentiate between the different versions of Pro, otherwise it would be confusing.

Are "we" some sort of secret society, like the Masons or the Justin Timberlake Fan Club?
Back on topic....
Am I safe in saying that functionally there are only TWO versions of XP- Home and Pro?
