I've heard that the version of Windows XP that everybody is downloading is actually just the beta.(build 2002 vs build 2600). I thought the beta didn't require a serial #, If thats true why does build 2002 need one? Nothing seems to be disabled or non functional in release 2002. Anyway I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me figure this out P.S. Does anybody know how to make direcpc work in Windows XP??
