The Ultimate boot DVD Windows XP Pro/Home Editions SP3 Retail/Corporate X86 (8 in 1)

This ultimate boot DVD contains 6 different combinations of XP and some handy boot applications. Every Windows XP Edition is integrated with all Microsoft and Windows updates up-to September 2008. Also, no CD key is required as they're pre-slipstreamed with each edition.

==XP editions;

=(1) Windows XP Professional SP3 Retail with drivers       
=(2) Windows XP Professional SP3 Retail without drivers    
=(3) Windows XP Professional SP3 Corporate with drivers    
=(4) Windows XP Professional SP3 Corporate without drivers 
=(5) Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Retail with drivers       
=(6) Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Retail without drivers    

The Retail XP keys are not genuine so I included a working crack in the 'APPS' folder on DVD to activate and genuineise the retail XP's. The corporate XP's however, do not require a crack because the keys are genuine and will activate automatically. I included this crack because a retail license key is only valid for 3-5 installs! In the 'APPS' folder you will also find some silent installers such as, COMODO Firewall pro and windows live messenger.

==F.A.Q

=(Q)Why don't you just provide me with a genuine retail product key like the corporate ones, instead of providing me with a crack?
=(A)Retail licensing differs from Corporate licensing, A Retail key is used for home users and people buying XP directly from the retailer. A retail XP key can only be used to activate a retail XP 3-5 times, if that. So, if I provided a retail key with the retail XP's only a few people installing it will be able to activate their windows legally. However, Corporate licensing is used for businesses and schools etc. which enables you to activate Windows unlimited times. But -- Not all of the Corporate keys out there can be used to activate corporate XP's unlimited times, but the one provided with these corporate XP's can. :)

=(Q)Is x86 - 32-bit ?
