i've been using a pirated version of windows xp corperate edition for quite sometime, and the windows authentisity verifier hasnt stopped me, just be sure to read details when it asks you to install update, and just reject that function simple as that!
Who cares...The only importiant difference between XP Home and Pro is the ablitiy to join a domain. Which is of no use to most people anyways.And don't even get started with that POS IIS. Apache completely wastes it even though it isn't designed for Windows. Only fools use Windows servers. Linux FTW!And also if you think XP Home doesn't support more than 1 processor you are wrong as well. XP Home supports as many cpus as you can put on 1 socket, but not more than 1 socket.Here is a link with the differences for all you fools that think XP Pro is better because the fool next to you said it was.<a class="user" href="http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_home_pro.asp">http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_home_pro.asp</a>
It doesn't violate the EULA, as you're now using your own OS, which is NOT a Microsoft certified OS, therefore, they have no jurisdiction as to whether or not you violate any EULA.They CAN, however, pull some piracy BS on you.
@rshnrocket85The main difference between Pro and Home is its networking features, particularly the ability to join a domain (centralized security policies and equipment management). Unless you have a domain in your network, then there is no point to go Pro.
One other feature that XP Home lacks is IIS. Kind of dumb for Microsoft to leave this one out as Apache runs fine on XP Home and so users have more of chance to get hooked on Apache than IIS.
I got into the installation, but then it kept asking for my Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD. Which I didn't have.....So maybe it only works on XP Home cd's with SP2 installed?

Good tip. Next time I will download and install a whole pirated OS that isn't contaminated with keyloggers and such instead of doing this. Thanks.
