It appears that a friend of a friend should be able to get me a copy of XP Pro for around $20. The only problem is that it won't arrive until after thanksgiving and I've been waiting to use my new computer long enough. When I installed my Dell XP Home I noticed that you don't have to activate the OS for a month. Is this possible with Pro? If I do this, will I be able to get windows updates? If so, it would be fantastic if I could simply borrow an XP Pro cd from someone to use until I get the $20 copy and activate it.
Thanks in advance! (Sorry if this is a noob question)
