Well, I'm glad they aren't allowing the OEMs to completely remove it... They already screw their users out of a real Windows disk, they shouldn't be allowed to screw the users out of software their Windows license entitles them to as well.

Well, I'm happy with my Corperate Edition of Windows XP, free of all OEM bradning and crapware. Also glad that I can fully uninstall Winblows Phone Home Messenger.

Unless you get yet another crack, you won't be able to install SP1 on top of it.  MS is making it impossible to instll SP1 and future service packs on top of Corporate Edition.  Nice, huh?

And windows messanger is easy to uninstall in any version of XP or 2000.

Oh an how much do you want to bet that you'll have to leave IE installed, although you don't supposedly need to use it?

Actually, with a few proper steps he would be able to continue using that version. MS is only blocking a couple known CD keys, apparently they've never heard of a key generator... which one now exists for XP. All someone would need to do is use it to generate a new key and then follow some steps to change the key within Windows, reboot, and enjoy SP1.

AS there is a crack for Office XP and it's SP1, there will be a crack for Windows XP SP1.

I already know how to uninstall Winblows Messenger, but now it's easier for home users to do.
