вот что я нашел по поводу СП2 на 9Down
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Build 2138 * From MS *
It seems Windows Service Pack 2 has been made avaliable on Windows Update V5, for anyone using XP SP1.
Windows Update V5 & Service Pack 2 are the next major upgrades to Windows XP.
WARNING: dont use with corp versions of winXP, it will ask to re-activate!!
Запись: The final of XP SP2 is still a little while away. 2138 (xpsp.040522-1636) is a little old compaired to the latest internal versions, build 2142 was compiled on Friday 28th
здесь очень интересна строчка :WARNING: dont use with corp versions of winXP, it will ask to re-activate!!
кейген и кейчейнджен все таки надо качать ! но вот будет ли он генерить правильные номерки и будет ли работать вообще, это вообще вопрос спорный
маленькое дополнение
Change your key if you plan on using this. If you have a PID of 641~649 it will not let you use xp, it will install the SP2, but it'll ask to reactivate (even on CORP!!) and fail. Change to PID 640 or something like that.
Other than that, SP2 is really great so far.
To check your PID, go to System Properties (right click my computer>properties), there you have a "Registered to" section
In here, you have:
XXXXX-PID-XXXXXXXX-XXXXX
Make sure you change it...else u need to uninstall sp2 from recovery console, cuz safe mode wont boot either.
все выше сказаное относится и к старшим билдам
