I found a torrent, it has 9 different editions of XP PRO and Home along with Media Center on it. It has corperate editions also. Whats better is that its downloading at like 100 kbps.

Ill be installing windows xp pro corp on it, it even has a utility to crack activations on non corp editions. And it says that Uxtheme.dl_ was patched, so non-standard themes can be used, whatever the fuck that means.

... usually you need a program like stylexp or windows blinds to use non-standard themes on you PC. with the uxtheme.dll file patched, themes for stylexp can be installed without stylexp, it basically makes windows let you use themes other than its own without a thirdparty program that charges money :roll:

Dont know but it works, you can also create stand alone .iso's from that 700MB iso. Me thinks there isnt a whole bunch of differences between the versions. Like the meat of the OS remains the same, the just change out some files for the differences in say home pro OEM CORP upgrade or retail.

Extract the immage from the RAR and then burn it as a disk immage. Then if you want make an immage of whichever of the 9 OS's you want.

woops then to be safe looks like ill have to burn a media center and pro corp versions as well ^^

is it possible for the universal disc to be able to install one of the versions directly through bootup (not upgrade within windows)

I have no way to test, but I wont see why not.... and if not take a 20 cent CD-R and make a standalone ISO of whatever distro you want.
