XP PRO vs CORPORATE

[Loren Kallwick]

I have a cd of xp corporate. I run xp pro. Would someone tell me pros and
cons of installing Corporate over Pro? Are there things in Corporate that
would be advantages? I have home network and someone in another State that
wants me to maintain their system.Wipe Drive? All that stuff. Ideas? As
usual I really appreciate your help.

IIRC, there's no difference other than licensing (allowing for easier
installs on a large number of machines, or some such - someone else will
probably be able to point you to the details.)

Not sure what you mean but isn't the corporate version considered the pro
version?

Hi,

There is no such thing as WinXP Corporate. There is WinXP Pro, and WinXP
Home. The volume license version of WinXP Pro is commonly (and mistakenly)
referred to as WinXP corporate. There is nothing in the volume license that
you do not have in the regular retail Pro version.

To access your friends system and help maintain it, open help & support and
read on remote assistance.

Why don't you read all the responses to your post yesterday on the same
subject?

Most of the "corporate versions" are pirated. If you are
running many computers MS sells licenses that allow
installation on dozens or thousands of machines, but
sometimes people sell software and call it corporate. But
the activation is invalid and you won't be able to get
updates.

I have a cd of xp corporate.

Then you are a thief and a pirate. There is no such thing as "XP Corporate".
Which lorry did it fall from the back of? The corporate version is the name
given to an illegal volume licence. You certainly did *NOT* obtain it
legally. If you took it from work, then my first remark still stands - you
are a thief and a pirate. Let me guess, the key begins FCKGW...?

I have a cd of xp corporate.

Only the pirated version has been called "corporate," which is just XP
Pro, with Product Activation disabled.

I run xp pro.

And if you install the "corporate" version, you would still be running
XP Pro.

Would someone tell me pros

and cons of installing Corporate over Pro?

Plain old XP Pro has PA, "corporate" has PA disabled. THAT'S ALL!

Are there things in
Corporate that would be advantages?

Yes, PA has been disabled.

I have home network and someone
in another State that wants me to maintain their system.Wipe Drive?
All that stuff. Ideas? As usual I really appreciate your help.

Trying reading the response you got yesterday & today.

Wouldn't that mean that "All Else" is melting right about now?
