We are
buying XP licenses because we are allowed to downgrade one level. This is true for both Office and
Windows.

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.
Regards,
Margaret

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?
