why use home?
find a windows xp pro corp torrent and download it.
You don't even need a cd-key for xp pro corp.
Yes you do. XP corp needs a key. Just doesn't require activation.Quote:

Sorry, no activation is what I meant because you can just grab a key off google.Quote:

i managed to find a torrent with about 8 versions as iso's so im just downloading the xp home sp2 oem iso within it.
If you do that windows update and service packs aren't going to work...Quote:

Updates and all SPs work fine with the cracked win xp pro corp version. The PRO CORP version has the option of disabling Windows Activation in IE, so you can get all those updates even with a cracked key.Quote:
