The former can install on any number of PCs, but can be authenticated on only one PC.
Sorry for a dumb question but what does this mean? Would un-authed XP bite me?
Yes, it stops booting after N days.
It actually can be re-authenticated on new installations after a few weeks. The whole XP authentication system may seem Orwellian, but actually they don't care about one extra install on a second PC, months after the original. I've used the same product key on replacement computers, and not had any problem with authorisation. What they care about somebody churning out hundreds of pirated installations. And in any case, it's pretty much acknowledged that the XP authentication system is screwed, and everything has been hacked.
