CD Keys are specific. Retail versions do not work with OEM or Volume
License(V.L) software verisons of XP. This is to say: You the the same
version of XP as the version of the key. OEM Keys need OEM version; Retail
needs Retail and V.L. needs V.L.
Also, you can not mix Home Keys with Pro. Each have their own.
Noone will(or should) publish a valid CD Key in any newsgroup. As soon as
one is, it will be copied and pirated millions of times.
