We're buying XP licenses.  It's probably not legal to buy XP licenses and install Win2000, but if the license key works, what they hey....  My guess is that it won't.  Product activation is disabled in the academic version as well.  I'm already working on a standard image for WinXP Pro, and we plan to roll this out instead of Windows 2000 Pro.  Although it will take me longer to get the image ready and tested, it'll save us money in the long run.

Subject: Exchange fixed & WinXP

Thanks to the listmembers (especially Aaron, Ted, Rob, Linda and Craig!) my Exchange server is mostly running again.

I was wondering if anyone has tried the MOLP academic licenses for WinXP yet?
I see they are the same price as Win2000 licenses, are we allowed to downgrade them (ie - buy XP and install 2000)?
How does the product activation work? I heard the corporate ones don't use that, what about academic?
