So you don't have an unused Windows XP Professional license. Do you =
really think what you are proposing is legal. Are you a lawyer? Aren't = you
concerned about being disbarred for ethical violations?
Your complaining about the best buy offer price is whining. If you =
want something buy it. If the cost is higher than the value to you then =
don't. You are free to use any of the many alternatives the very = competitive
market makes available to you. If you are unhappy with the = cheaper lesser
products then complain to those folks that they don't = make what you want.

Yes it would be if I thought it was breaking the law. I have valid
licenses
for XP Home and XP Pro. Don't you have anything better to do than =
worry
about someone trying to have a workable recovery console on XP Home. =
If a
user attempts to have a safer environment from which to run your =
products
that's a problem for you and your company? If your so worried about
someone
running gpedit.msc on XP Home so they can turn on the set commands =
in the
recovery console, you could just provide the proper value to set for =
the
one
or two appropriate keys in the registry.
As for your other question, XP Home is what came with the laptop, =
and
except
for a couple of things its good enough for now. I have never used =
XP on
one
of my computers. I'm looking at it while considering how to handle =
moving
my licensed full retail copy of win2k over from my old laptop. Your
helpful
interjection into this thread certainly makes me want to invest the =
time
learning to use your current OS versus just staying with Win2K or =
going to
Linux and running my Office 2K Apps under Linux.
OH and thanks for answering my questions and trying to improve your
company's image with its customers. You're doing a great job.

Isn't it unwise for a lawyer to discuss his breaking the law in a
public
forum?
If you want Windows XP Professional why didn't you buy Windows XP
Professional?
