I've waited to do the upgrade to XP because the apps I use most; 3dsmax, Maya, xsi etc. have been more stable on
Windows 2000 Professional than on
Windows XP Professional - that is, until now - I've been told they've become pretty OK on XP by now.
I've looked around a little, but, I guess since the orginal
Windows XP Professional release is so old by now, there aren't many people who bother keeping it still on their ftps.
However, I came across a "Warez" website, which offered the Windows XP SP 1 as a "warez-download"..??
Could it be that this package, extracted and burned to a cd, could be used to INSTALL Windows XP - not just update it? That is, if one had the right serial. Or what was it about that serial - did you have to have a KEYGEN instead?
Also, on another website, filled with "hking" info, I found a little folder called :
Windows XP setup
26.09.2002 08:03 110 AUTORUN.INF
26.09.2002 08:03 1 616 811 ACT20.EXE
26.09.2002 08:04 1 194 496 FASTWIZ.EXE
26.09.2002 08:04 1 310 720 SETUP.EXE
26.09.2002 08:04 3 470 848 MSRDPCLI.EXE
26.09.2002 08:03 45 056 Windows XP Professional Keygen.exe
6 File(s) 7 638 041 bytes
What are these meant to do? The SETUP.EXE is v 5.1.2600.0
- that's the original RTM XP version, right? Could these files do anything helpful, if the SP1 wont do the job, that is?
Please excuse me for being very stupid if all my ideas on this matter is 100% BS...?! I just thought maybe I'd found an easy way.. so I'm curious if I actually *have* done that, you know?
