simple XP questions.

1) Can I use XP home edition to run PT 5.3?

I understand I need the service pack, which I download from the Microsoft site:
2) Is it true that I have to have a bona fide registered copy of XP to do this (and so give even more money to uncle Bill?)? Is there any way 'round this?
I've already doshed out for 98 and 2000... [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">i know before i had a real copy of XP, i tried to install those service pack updates, and it knew, saying: 'you must have a registered copy of XP to install these things.'

since then I've purchased a liscensed copy of XP, (for only $15 dollars btw!) and it obviously works fine.
