Windows XP Pro SP1 - EULA

[Rod Davies]

Hi

I was just tooling around with one of my home PCs provided by work, and
noticed in System it is running Windows XP Pro SP1, and it's Registered to
"Test".

Trying to get it onto SP2, it says it can't 'because it doesnt appear to be
a valid copy of XP". Now, I am sure it is, under my work's agreement with
MS, though I cant be 100% sure. Before I get anyone into trouble (ME
included!) any thoughts??? I was going to upgrade it to Vista Home Premium
in a few weeks (spent money on new Video card and 1G RAM to get it ready and
then I found this...
