I'm getting a new laptop on Tuesday, and wonder about this Win XP activation stuff: If I don't connect and activate it, can I still run my brand-new laptop normally for a while? Or does it have to be activated right away? I've looked at the MS site, but didn't see any quick, easy links to answer this!

Also, any thoughts on the difference between XP Home and XP Pro? Is Pro worth the extra money?


Thanks!
