Enterprise and Home is different.  What you get up to behind corporate walls and what you do at home is not the same.  Yes, you could go that route and I don't think anyone would be any wiser, but YOU would know the difference.

I'm different.  I buy the license because its the right thing to do, like all the software I use is bought and paid for.  I wish Tiny XP was available on Microsoft's website.  But there is another way you could google BartPE and tinker with that.  Not the same but it works.  On that TinyXP version I have, server services is working as is Internet.

Maybe I missed something but if you "buy" all your licenses "cause its the right thing to do" then where did you get TinyXP? Walmart?  ;D

You buy the licence to use the software.... You don't buy the software. It doesn't matter where he got TinyXP. He has a licence to use XP on a single machine. If he's still only using a single copy of XP on his single machine (that he HAS a licence to do) then he's not breaking the law.

Ok nice paragraph, and I did read it.

And your point is?

Ok before you go posting back and getting all huffy and puffy.... :blah:

You are allowed to modify the services of the software but are not allowed to reverse, decompile or basically play about with the kernal.  This is not linux where you can compile another kernal based on your preferences, ie adding a firewall, etc.  The kernal is something you would not want to play with anyway.  XPlite removes the services and components which makes the build smaller, and it doesn't touch SAM.

If this wasn't the case then this company would have its feet burned by coals.

Something a bit missing from your instructive paragraph from M$.  Tiny XP is via torrent.  Its not illegal to download it, but it is illegal to use it without a license.  BartPE doesn't need a license and can happily autoboot from CD/DVD with a front end and roms.  It takes a bit to get it working, but google it and have a play.

No huffing or puffing.   I'm a total pirate.
