>It will NOT work. XP can only be used on one computer
(unless you buy a new harddrive). You must purchase a
separate full/retail version or an OEM version for your
home PC. Even trying to upgrade your home PC with your
work disk will render your PC unusable.

If your boss has a legal volume license, and wants to give you one of the
licenses, it will work, and is legal.

There is no "Corp" Version of XP. That's is a Warez-Kiddie term.

If you mean you have the volume licensed version. Then, As long as your
company has enough valid keys to cover your computer, and your boss gives
you permission, Then you can install it on your home computer.

Keep in mind. If you quit or get fired, you will no longer be covered
under the companies license. In which case, you're supposed to remove XP,
or get a valid license on your oen.

You raised the legal issue so obviously you know there
are many issues with XP and MS, you seem to be asking for
someone to say go ahead and use the bosses CD, well go
ahead just don't ever connect to the internet.
