XP pirate

[ShallowHal]

I've been offered a copy of XP professional corporate but I heard that Microsoft has made this software "share proof." Anyone know what the real story is?

 

[Splork]

When in doubt. Don't use it.

I agree, when in doubt don't.
But I can tell you that XP Pro Corporate is indeed the LEAST "share proof" flavour of XP you can get.

I'm actually quite happy with WIN 2000 but being a curios person, how can XP be "share-proof?" Seems to me that if any software can be made "share-proof" then there will be quite a few idle CDR's in the near future. Dontcha think?:Q

It's the activation needed on the non-corporate versions, do a search the topic has been done to death, it's pretty effective at doing its job.

Except for the fact that the Corporate Version is soo easy to obtain.

Well where can I get one? Pricewatch wont let me search.

The Corporate version of XP has no software-check. It is not for sale, other than to companies, I.E. dell/gateway. If you want to download it, you'll have to find someone who has it, or find a site/ftp server that is hosting pirated software (check IRC dalnet channels [extremewarez])
