    So i just placed an order with PortableOne for a sony tz 190. i opted for them to downgrade the machine to window xp pro. the thing is, i don't have window xp pro cd. S
    So when i get my machine, i have to called in with an activation key to activate the xp pro OS?
    and whats the difference between "window xp pro edition upgrade" (199$) and the "window xp pro edition" (299$). if i buy the cheaper one, does the activiation key still work for my machine if i use that to activate the OS when i get the TZ?
