Future more Wikipedia says:

Slipstreamed retail and OEM versions of Windows XP with SP3 can be installed and run with full functionality for 30 days without a product key, after this time the user will be prompted to enter a valid key and activate the installation. Volume license (VLK) versions still require entering a product key before beginning installation. Volume License Key (VLK) which is a product key that does not require Windows Product Activation (WPA).

For Europe are "N" Versions out. These Versions do not have the Media Player include. 3th party Media Players can be used or MS Media Player can be installed later.
Also "K" Editions are out with extended addons for external Audio Players support.

Home user Operating systems Windows XP and Windows Vista have a protection against flooting and limit the maximum connections at once TCP IP connections (tcpip.sys)

The connection limit wasn't established by Microsoft without a reason. It should prevent rapid spreading of viruses and worms if a computer gets infected. That's why they limited it to 10 connections at a time. Some applications, for example filesharing tools can't unfold their capacity when the maximum connection limit is too low. Please don't raise the connection limit if you don't really need it. Look into the event viewer (start->run 'Eventvwr.msc'->system). When you see entries with the event ID 4226, the system is telling you that the connection limit has been reached.

If you need to change it like in Server OS 32 and 64 bit Windows 2000, Windows 2003 include Windows XP 64 Bit and Windows 2008 to unlimit (max. Connections = 16777214)
See screenshot:

The freeware tool XP-AntiSpy which is available in all Languages can change this limit.
