they are the same thing , just different licensing scheme

There is no "corporate" version. What you are referring to is the volume
license version which does not require activation. You have to be part of a
MS licensing program to use it legally.

There is no such thing as "XP Corporate." That's a common name given to a
volume license version of Windows XP by pirates.

Actually, there is no such thing as WinXP "Corporate Edition."
That is a term applied exclusively to pirated (iow, stolen) copies of
the Volume Licensed WinXP Pro by the "warez" aficionados.

XP Corporate is no official term. It has been used a lot as referring
to pirated versions of the 'Volume licensed' variant of XP Pro, where
licensing is not handled by the same methods as in retail ones, and
there is a common and pirated installation key. MSoft prevent such
copies being upgraded to Service Pack 1
