Dumb question: What is the benefit of changing from Corp to Pro?
I'm confused.
Hi rikytik,
The benefit was to run a legit key and not have to be concerned about any of the issues regarding wxpsp1 and windows update. I usually don't worry too much about rumors, but a lot of the hype surrounding sp1 and MS's newly found resolve to really lock things down seemed like a little bit more than just inuendo to me this time. This change just gives me peace of mind that my OS will 'keep on tickin' when and how I want it to, and I won't have to put up with the BS of possible future 'patching this', 'modifying that', and not being able to connect to WUD.
I'm not suggesting that anyone go out and spend a heap a dough on an 'off the shelf' Pro. Just do a little hunting and ask around. If you can find something reasonable, the peace of mind is worth it.
All the best (and Good Luck ),
