The thing is, its essentially the same software that goes out on every DVD isnt it?

Its just the key that determines the type of OS installed / activated. IIRC a simple hack could change an XP Home CD to an XP Pro CD assuming you have the correct key.

So why not just ask for a valid XP key as well at the start of the "upgrade" if you boot from CD and dont try to install via the Windows Interface?
