The Corporate Edition can be installed on a blank drive. Just boot the CD and install.

So can Pro.

BTW, it's only fair to point out that the "activation bullsh*t" that everybody mentions takes about 20 seconds and is so easy that your dog could do it...

very true. i just don't bother with my corp, cuz it doesn't FUKKEN WORK!! and it screwed up my comp. oh well, activation really does take like 20-30 seconds.

all i do is generate my own corp keys for pro as i am sure if u have 3 hardware changes with pro you have to reactivate again

That raises an interesting question.

Does anybody really know how MS IDs your computer?
What , and how much, can you change before they get cranky about your activation?

prolly generates the ID by identifying the motherboard, video card, CPU and C: drive, combined with your WindowsXP serial number.
