I want to put Windows XP Pro on a computer, and am waiting
for my own copy. Would I be able to install my friends
copy, and just not activate it, and when my copy comes
change the Product Key somehow, so I can use XP right
away?
 
Not unless both Windows XP installation CDs are identical.
Since you probably can't compare your friend's XP CD with
your forthcoming XP CD, you should not do this.
