Ed, Nope you can't. Win and Office XP both have activation features which prohibit this. Besides it is illegal.

My question is, can I just borrow this disk, take it home and set up XP on my PC? I'm using OE6 (yuck) here, which I haven't used in a year, and I've pretty much got everything up and running. Are the separate accounts able to be totally customized? There will be 4 users all with Administrative abilities. Can I password my account? I'm sure I can, I'm just excited about using the premier OS in the world. It is kinda' quirky though. I don't like the start menu at all. I'll get my Office XP out here and put it on her PC. Gee this $1400 PC has been setting around since Feb. (in the box). If I could just sneak it out the back door!
