Two processors are shown in the Device Manager, but you only require a single
licence for XP.
If you run two processors on a motherboard you need two licences for XP.

I don't think so. WinXP Professional will handle a two CPU machine
with only one license. But AFAIK, a dual-core CPU counts as one CPU
for a license.

Sorry, that's *not* correct. You are still running a single instance of
Windows XP, and only a single license is required.
Also note that only XP Professional supports two processors. XP Home will
run on a two-processor system, but will only use one of the processors.

ACK.
Also note that only XP Professional supports two processors. XP Home
will run on a two-processor system, but will only use one of the
processors.
Just an addendum: This applies to physical processors only. If there
is a (single-core) HT CPU, WinXP Home uses both logical processors as
well. "Windows XP and Hyper-Threading"

Yes. Thanks for the addendum.

Given the subject line, I wonder if the CPU would kill itself? ;-)

No, but each might kill the other.

Well, I don't care too much about typos since English isn't my native
language. Things look different on the technical side when people asking
for help tamper essential parts of an error message (file names etc.).

In my book they can look elsewhere for that kind of assistance.

Depends on the weapons chosen for the duel.

As well as on other things. That's why I only said "might."

This is an international, anglophone newsgroup. In addition, there are
local Microsoft newsgroups, supporting the following regions:
- Arabic
- Brazil
- China
- Germany
- Spain
- Finland
- France
- Greece
- Hungary
- Israel
- Italy
- Japan
- Korea
- Netherlands
- Russia
- Turkey
- Taiwan
- South Africa
In contrast, there are 6,912 active languages worldwide. Therefore,
people from all others regions are certainly welcome to drop in when
needing support. As long as they can express themselves in English,
I don't care about typos - just call it "political correctness".

Using the incorrect homophone is not a typo. Call it "language
correctness". If people want to have fun with it why should it bother
you so much?

Apparently, education seems to drop worldwide. This is also true in
Germany. If there are postings filled up with typos in local groups,
I do not reply. If someone is not smart enough to manage the native
language, he/she will not catch any technical advice anyway.
On the other hand, I do not use any spell checkers since I'm posting
in different languages. Therefore, I afford my own typos since I do
not really double-check my postings in most cases prior to sending.
I do not bother having fun with typos but I'm not in the position to
share word puns. In this group, you never know if someone is posting
from a banana republic. Having no opportunity to learn English at school
and therefore, trying to express him/herself via Babelfish translator.
Sorry, but it's no fun for me to treat those guys like morons and if
my limited spare time allows for a serious reply, I'll certainly do.

Nobody treated anyone like a moron in this thread. We just toyed with
the word. And again, a typo and the misuse of a homophone are not the
same thing. If anythng the joking might help peole learn.

I am amazed that the thread didn't continue with the discussion of "misuse

Ever since the "Greek Boy" and "Dirty Sick Pig" have impacted the
newsgroups, the culture of the newsgroupies have evolved or matured that we
kinda ignore this kind of post.
Ok?!
