You do not need to input all X's. The problem you guys are having is that you are trying to "skip" it. That's not possible. You need to let the product key process run. When it runs it will pick up the key in the BIOS. Specifing for it to never run or to show errors will cause it to error out. Just leave the Key field blank and tell it to ALWAYS show. If there's a BIOS key to be found you will never see the CD Key window, it will in fact proceed unattended. <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key></Key> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> Removing ProductKey altogether as the OP has done will also throw out an error.

It's working fine for me.

No glass that I know about.

Unfortunately I highly doubt many "corporations" will go with this. I tried when we were all Win8 and they just wouldn't bite with 8.1 right around corner which solved most no menu problems. Then once they saw the new start menu in Win9 that pretty much killed it completely.

That's all that really matters!

I registered. Found out they had nothing but NT4.0 classes. NT4.0 was on it's way out the door then realized my diploma would be something that actually expired. I wasn't about to pay 40+ grand for that (today around 100k+). Now I have well over 10 years experience under my belt which is worth way more than a diploma in this field. Experience AND a diploma....I would hate those people except they're STILL paying off their student loans. Poor bastards....oh....now I get it. Yeah, they need a freebie handout.

I never went to college. Now I feel discriminated against!
