Re: Windows XP

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

Cheers

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.

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.
