RE: [ThinkPad] activation and XP, home version yes, commercial version no

This is wrong.

The Windows XP Professional requires activation in its retail version ($180)

The Select version, which is for corporate who buy in bulk does not, but you
have to purchase hundreds of copies to qualify.

Tony
We went round on this a short while ago.
The commercial version of XP does not need to be activated.
I guess large corporate users weren't willing to buy into the activation
concept.
The home version does require activation.

Anyone know how much the commercial version costs?
