I use

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Student Edition SP3 Integrated-ETH0

But I just installed on a new pc and I had to use the wga crack it would not pass the genuine advantage, they might have blocked those keys from all new installs since they dont give that out anymore.

Heh...every time MS updates WGA, it gets cracked the next day...lmao

I eventually got tired of playing cat n mouse and bought a legit key..did the same with my AV.
Those two things I won't leave to chance or p2p...OS and AV.

Anyone who knows anything uses the student edition. The key passes WGA and the release requires no crack. Also, it is the pro edition of XP - I don't know why ETH0 even bothered releasing the corporate editions. Student is like corporate without the hassle of a crack/patch and with a legit key.

Not anymore it wont, you need a wga crack now for the student edition.

Just search around you will see. This key has been removed for new installs from MS.

That's odd. I update my laptop a few days ago when the new WGA appeared. My laptop is running just fine.

You can still update try a new install, you wont pass the wga, if you already passed it then its fine I have 3 here running on that copy and there fine but they have been running for awhile. If you do a new install you wont pass when you first try to update.

Yeah the updates don't check for WGA. It's when you want to install a new copy or download certain things from MS that they do a WGA check.
