<Intel has made it quite clear that it will allow no systems to be configured with AMD CPUs and Windows 2000 or XP Professional>

It's much better now than a year ago since all the PC's are being shipped with XP Personal. If a company has licenses for XP Professional, these PC's can easily be upgraded with no risk.

It was much worse when AMD PC's could only be ordered with Win98 or ME, and the organization had standardized on NT 4.0 or 5.0 (a.k.a. Windows 2000).

Does Microsoft sell XP Personal -> XP Professional upgrade licenses at a reasonable cost?
