(please dont take my responses as an insult/attitude towards what you are
telling me, i just want to get a super clear answer)

i also understand exactley what you are saying, but the tablet pcs we have
are exactley all the same ... of course except for the serial number/product
key for each individual tablet pc. so in essence, if i created a xp tablet
edition installation cd/dvd, i could use it for the rest of the tablet pcs
that we have. is there a way to create this but make it so each time i
install it, it will ask me for the unique serial number/product key of the
specific tablet pc?
