To me , this is easier type " tinyxp torrents " in the google bar. Download. Install. |

The question is this: Is tinyxp software that's for sale and must be licensed? Also, I don't see an official website for the darn thing. Or is it a hack of XP, and in which case, what are the legal implications? |

Tinyxp is simply winxp reduced to 100Mb with an app like nlite ( or something like that ).
You still need your official license , if you want to be legal. It's the same as you have an official XP, and you start cutting out. Just here the work is done for you and it's tested to be good.. There are different versions with each a different footprint and amount of " cutting out " There is nothing wrong with doing it like in the article, but this is just my lazy way. |

about the 100Mb above....that's download.
Install on your HD comes to about 400 Mb nikkels |

The whole point is this: You're going to run into issues if the copy of XP is OEM. Doesn't matter if it's Home or Professional (Media Center is OEM by default most of the time anyway). OEM keys work from certain CD's, and not others. I've tried using an OEM key from a regular CD once, and it didn't work. The keys are CD-specific. There's upgrade, retail, OEM..... etc.... It might be a better idea to have this tutorial with screenshots showing the full process of it all. What Justin wrote about pertains to securing the OS, and if an admin is wanting to do such a thing anyway, they'll more than likely want to do it themselves than download tinyxp, so they'll have more control over it. |

Here is the breakdown of keys. You must have specific keys for: Home Upgrade Home SP1 Home SP2 Pro SP1 Pro SP2 Media Center Edition SP1 Media Center Edition SP2 |
