2 things

xp ativation was cracked 3 months ago. there is a file, also, which i won't post here, that can be copied and as long as the same amt of ram is installed, you are set (not sure if that works in teh release)

Kerberos - call it by its' real name MICROSOFT KERBEROS, it is not standard, or as secre, but it is a great step.

No one here should run xp home if they are on broadband , period, to my knowledge home is the only version of xp that has full open sockets, i don't believe that is teh case in pro or 64 bit.

My take as i see it.

FWIW i have no probs with XP and emplode, but that wasn't the latest beta.
