A few days ago I heard almost the same exact thing from my son. There
is some misinformation going around some circles that the so called
"Corporate" version of XP is in fact enhanced when compared to the
standard XP Pro version. Some nonsense about the networking on the Xp
Pro being crippled as opposed to the Corporate version.

I tried to explain to him that the only difference I knew was in the
activation procedures, but you know kids, they know it all.....

Idiots!
