There is no difference except for the activation feature.
XP corp does not have one. It's made for corporations so they don't have to activate each of their hundreds or thousands of PCs individually. It also allows for one key for all their machines which also aids in creating one Ghost image for multiple PCs.

Well that clears that up, thought the content was a little different, thanks.... Ok so I got xp 64 with sp1 and sp2 is also out but I was reading to install sp2 for server 2003 in place of a sp3 for it(64bit got no sp3). Should I install the sp2 for xp first or just skip to the sp2 for server, thanks again.

What it clears up is that you have a pirated copy of XP. There's no such thing as a legitimate "Corporate Edition" CD. The so-called "Corp edition" is merely XP Pro with volume licensing that you would never be able to get your hands on through normal channels. Even if you worked for a huge company they wouldn't be allowed to give it to you.
There are only three ways to buy XP, and only three versions of it. XP Home, Pro and Media Center. Depending on the version there's OEM, Retail Box or Volume Licensing.
In short, no matter *where* you pretend you got it from (and I'll place my money on a friend or a torrent site), you're not licensed to own it and you can't be licensed to own it. And don't try and BS your way out of it, because I know better. I sell volume licensing and the disk says right on it "Microsoft licensing". You've got a lot of nerve stealing something and then coming here asking for help on it.

SirKenin, Hey I ain't stole nothing, the disc was given to me and I was told I could use it but if it ain't a legal version then I don't want to use it. I have my own xp pro that the VA paid for when I went to school and can put it on my machine; ur asshole remarks are not needed.
You knew darn well that a Windows XP disk with "Corp 64" scribbled on it with a marker is not legal. It's not the average basic user that goes looking for a 64 bit XP either.
You knew exactly what you were doing and that it was a pirated copy. Spare me the crap.....
'nuff said. You got busted. Deal with it.

The disc has xp 64 nothing more on it other than a ser# and who busted me, u who don't know what the hell ur talking about with the crap that the only way to get a volumn license is to buy it (bull crap) microsoft gives these things out in 25 user license to members of their IT association (or whatever u call it) because my son won one of them for server 2003. Idiots like u are why I don't bother with most forums, go spew ur stealing crap on someone else.

Actually, it's not an IT association, it's either a) TechNet or b) Microsoft Partners / OEM System Builders. I know. I am one.
Your first post says it says Corp 64 on it. Your last post says it only says XP 64 on it and a serial number. Which one is it Ace? Your so full of it we can see it floating around in your eyes.. You got a copy cd from your buddy who scribbled the info on the CD, came in here wondering where the "corporate" part was (which in reality is a VLK that MS blocked a long time ago, but the copies such as the one you stole has an activation crack to get around the WPA (and I even know what the name of the crack is, who distributes it and where to get it).
Volume license CDs don't come with product keys written on them. And MS doesn't hand them out in free 25 packs either. 25 CALs sell for between 1500 and 2300 USD. MS may be generous to it's partners, but not that generous. I sell volume licenses. The wholesaler registers your client's information with MS on your client's behalf. The client receives a login and password to the site where it shows them the number of licenses they purchased.
The Server 2003 that MS handed out was a 5 CAL NFR.
Stop trying to jerk us around. You're lying your arse off to someone who does this for a living and who is actively involved with the MS anti-piracy division and somewhat with the Business Software Alliance.
And if you're a dad... I feel sorry for your kid. What lessons are you teaching him exactly? And what do you mean they gave your son CALs? Buddy, the way "u" type, you sound like you've barely hit puberty, never mind a son of any significant age. I'll bet my last dollar you ARE the son.

Once again u are the idiot because it was a 25 license pack and are sold on ebay daily for next to nothing (do some checking) and as I said IT members (or whever its called), crap I don't remember that small stuff. But u are such a blowhard if u see anything I wrote don't stick ur nose in it. 2 things I can't stand; itiots and ppl who think they are somebody who they ain't. And actually my son is older than u so that makes me a whole lot older than a punkass like u, take a hike. And if u really want to make a wager and u probably only have that 1 dollar, time and place.

sirkenin, how come you said your basic user wouldnt be looking for xp 64? i was under the impression that 64bit xp was somewhat of a flop. when i bought 32bit pro it was between 32 and 64 pro. whats so much better about 64 that your average user wouldnt want it or couldnt make use of it? just curious...
They're not given away by Microsoft. The only CAL pack I know about that sells cheap is the 20 CAL for the Windows 2003 Small Business Server with Exchange (T74-01133). You also have to buy the actual transition pack (T72-01413) which sells for $1500 USD or the 20 CAL pack is meaningless (I own SBS 2003 and have it running on one of my servers, I've sold several copies of it and I've also sold T74-01133)
So "u" "ppl" and your "itiot" friends.... Remind me again what point you were hoping to make before you hopelessly made a complete and total ass of yourself?

It was a flop really. It's actually cheaper to buy than 32 bit XP. The reason for that is that there's not the same demand for it. It's only the few that even know about 64bit XP, never mind run it.
I guess my point is that this kid made a total ass of himself because he got caught feeding his boyhood to the vacuum cleaner.. The "Corporate Edition" gives these little idiot wannabe "pirates"... u no.. the 1337 crowd
away every time.The more he speaks, the deeper his hole gets. Typical noob/wannabe.
Actually thats not true.
[1] Academic licensing
[2] The Microsoft Startup Alliance (cant remember full name but it's dedicated at getting startups up and running)
[3] I wont mention 'N' and 'K' editions. I will mention tablet, starter, and embedded though.
All this anger is only warranted if its beyond a shadow of a doubt. Granted I'll give u that if it was in fact legit, you would have an IT department or an IT director to go through -- but instead of showing all your cards up front, you could have weaseled that out with tact and subtlety rather than go in gunz blaz1ng.
Based on THIS, i will tell you that you cannot use it (as the person who gave it to you, if they were legit, should have told you). Naturally this thread needs to end and I'm sure you can understand why.
Funny. Mine says Corp64 scribbled on it (well actually no, it says 'CE' but close enough). A scribbled label doesnt mean jack. Save your vigilante tone for when you do make a clean 'kill'.
I'm sure that's possible: internal microsoft lottary although i dont see why microsoft employees wouldnt get one or whatever. I know this happens for corporations as well (i.e. register with us and you're entered in a draw to win... etc). The SN on the disc isnt a make-break scenario, i sometimes keep SNs on the disc -- it's easier to find a CD binder than it is to find a flimsy piece of paper. But agian, the person who gave it to you should have known better (or you should have asked them).
No shit but who wants to have their CDs in a CD binder and then a box full of those paper cd holder things? We sure dont. The key being on the disc is not incriminating and you know it. Aagain, save it for the clean kills
See same comment
Dont even think about bring up the registration fee....
While you may have been ultimately correct, post 5 was entirely uncalled for. The vigilante attitude is only deserved when you've got it pinned beyond plausability. And even then, we have a thread-report feature and/or you should have PM'd a mod.
For the record, at our company -- I'm Director IT, and we have a binder of all the licensed software (and a backup kept in a safe too) -- the serials are written on for the reasons i stated above. Sure, I'm not allowed to give it out to random people, but I am most definitely allowed to have it.
This thread is now pronounced dead.
