The only thing with that is if you have to reimage the machine you have
to call microsoft to get activated again.

Jonathan, I believe you must sysprep to wipe out the GUID so there are
not network conflicts when the image is installed on the new
workstations. Seems like more work to me then just activating the
already installed windows XP pro OS's? I would just do that! Unless
there's some underlying facts I am not aware of.
