Licensing Question - XP or W2k

[Jim Matthews]

We are a consulting company who support a product which runs only on Windows
2000 - not XP in any form.

When I purchase laptops, they come with XP Pro and the vendor has always
installed W2K Pro on it for me.

Now they tell me they will not do this, but the Windows XP license "covers"
me if I wish to install myself.

Anyone know if this is true ?

TIA

I too have heard and read an articly about this. As long
as the XP is not being used and the Windows 2K is there
should be no problems.

Try this number to be sure though....

call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to
5:30 P.M. (Pacific time) to speak directly to a Microsoft
licensing specialist.
