If you buy the Server Version it does not have this limitation.

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft is having getting released ??

One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you have installed it on a different machine.

Anyone have options on the new XP ?
