I am building a computer for working with pics, videos and sound(music). Since this is to be a home buisness tool, I wish to keep it away from any internet corruptions but am not sure if I will be able to activate my windows xp without being directly linked to the net. Also unsure if I can download software upgrades to my on-line computer then transfer them by cd to my work computer. Any advice will be appreciated! -Phillip- PCBUILD maintains hundreds of useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://freepctech.com/downloads.shtml
