David Lawrence: Exactly it is the package of software that was included with some computer somewhere that*s if they are telling the truth. It was included with some computer somewhere that was stolen or given away or upgraded or trashed or crashed and the person didn*t want to deal with and they gave the discs away. These discs are assembled and sold to people like these people who advertise. And then illegally put up for sale.

Rich: What there, things that are selling are things like Photoshop.

David Lawrence: Yeah all the things, they can, now here*s what my suspicion is. Everyone of these pieces of software costs in the $100.

Rich: Right.

David Lawrence: Right XP professional is $300, Photoshop is $600 if you buy the creative suite it is like $1100, AutoCAD I am sure is on that list MathCAD anything that costs a lot of money whether it is, there can be arbitrage you know 80 bucks would be great for them to get if they got the disc for free. Right.

Rich: Are you saying that it is just copied software?

David Lawrence: I am going to assume and admonish the people who are listening not to support these people and not to purchase from them because with Windows XP professional in particular you are going to run in all kinds of problems when you are going to register it and you don*t have Microsoft support so you are stuck.

Rich: Okay and just one other question about that I don*t yet have XP and I am kind of wondering what is the difference between XP Home and XP Professional?

David Lawrence: XP Home is a slim down version of XP Professional and it is designed for single users it is designed for you know and by single user I mean if you have 1 or 2 or 3 machines. XP Professional is designed for high volume multiple user situations in business, it*s called enterprise software. And it has more features and a different approach to its programming and the ability to manage it than does XP Home. XP Home doesn*t expect you to have 60 machines on your network or 6000 machines on your network. XP Home, what?

Rich: Where a Professional does?

David Lawrence: Yes Professional is built to handle that.

Rich: Oh okay.
