Heya
Corp = Corporate - business oriented (for companies)
Retail - boxed version in the shops Corporate Windows XP Pro is bought by companies with multiple licenses giving them the right to install as many copies as they paid for. The retail version is what you would see in a shop in that fancy box. JAN

Hmm
As far as I know, the only difference is in the licensing but not in the resources being used nor the poerformance.

they are all identical once installed, it's just that the corporate does NOT require activation, whereas all others do
