Re: Windows XP

I've managed to get my hands on a mate's upgrade edition - would this be of any use to me?

I know I could slipstream something nice into an ISO that would be very difficult to detect your AV would miss it your malware protection would not know it was there.

I am not a noob matey ;)

Especially when you bear in mind that a lot of people would skip the virus scan, burn the ISO to disk and boot from it, so no actual virus scanner will be running.

yeppers They are asking for trouble. A lot of custom ISO's also have a after install application selection and further installs pre AV just asking for malware

You can do a clean install with the upgrade disk. have a search on google for it. You might not be able to use your licence key though as ifrc a full licence key can't be used with an upgrade disk.
