Retail XP SP2 On Two PC's?

Hi. Did Microsoft change the license agreement and allow
for the retail box versions of XP SP2 to be installed on
two computers? Thanks, Craig.

Service Pack 2 has not made its way into the Retail channel for Windows XP
yet.

Its just a Service Pack, that is currently being delivered to PC
manufacturers, replicators, and users to obtain.

Existing users of XP do not get an extra license for Windows XP, if you want
to install XP on a new computer, you have purchase a new license.

No. That's never been the case with any version of Windows.

There are no retail box versions of XP complete with SP2, and will not
be until (I guess) around Oct/Nov. There is no reason whatever to
expect license terms for those to change at all. The SP2 pack itself,
if you download and put on a CD, you can install on as many machines as
you like (but not 'redistribute')
