Works perfectly for me, however I read something about that genuine will be taken to the "next level" somewhere. Will post the link here if I manage to dig it up again.

well to get rid of that you dont have to do anything special really....

go to this dir(thats if your windows installed in CSmile


C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data

inside you will find a file called Data.dat open that file with notepad and delete all the stuff in it... now save the file and set it as read only and restart pc no more xp that says its not genuine lol Smile

as for the upadtes well get that
Windows.Genuine.Advantage.Validation.v1.5.526.0.CRACKED-ETH0

it works for me

Here's what you do:
To make it easy for everyone:

1. Goto C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data and edit the data.dat file with notepad and remove everything inside that file, then save and set it as read-only.

2. Use the ETH0 patch and extract that dll to windows\system32 overwriting everything.

3. Restart computer and it all works fine Smile

Microsoft released 2 differnt versions of this tool so thats why you have to do both above.

They've stated that they won't stop anyone getting critical security updates if your copy of XP isn't genuine.
All other updates are blocked.

Corp. Edition is exactly the same as pro, but you don't have to enter serial when installing.

that's not true, ever heard of corporate keys Wink . Corporate edition has no activation, and for example corporate office versions (aka. Volume License) can be installed via administrative installs.

Just to make it even clearer, Corporate license is purposed for companies that holds up hundreads of PCs, so instead of getting a HOME/PRO license for each computer, MS came up with this, and I guess that other Software companies do the same...its old news really. hehe. :-/
