Re: [Thinkpad] activation and XP, home version yes, commercial version no

In fact, XP Professional does need to be activated in exactly the same
way that XP Home needs to be activated. But there is an enterprise-level
release of XP Professional, available only by license (not in a box, not
for sale to individuals) that does not need to be activated, but is
otherwise identical to XP Professional.
