I have the WinXP Home Greek Edition, If I want to switch to the English edition can I simply download it from "you know where" and use the same license key I had for the Greek version, will it work?
 
Each legitimate copy of Windows has it's own product id. But Microsoft also offers multi-language support with their Language Interface Pack. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f9-79c4-4625-a07a-0cc1b341be7c&displaylang=en There are a few other links for changing languages on menus as well as customizing the current installation.

Most likely not. But why would you have the Greek version if you bought it?

My guess is that you downloaded XP from a site, installed it and found out it was Greek, and want to find out if you can change it or use the same cd key so you can go and download the English version of XP..

You evidently haven't bothered to read about the multi language support already included and available for XP by going to the links above. These detail how to change from one language setup to another. Try reading those articles and go for the downloadable addons.
 
I bought it from Greece thats why, but when I get my iMac Intel Dual Core I thought I might install WinXP on it too, it says it requires the SP2 on CD, I have the SP1 version, and I d/lding the SP2 version now, anyway I bought WinXP with my computer, I legally own a license key.
 
Ok, well that makes more since, but...

That it against the forum rules, and is illegal (you should know by now).
