Say XP won't boot and theres no sticker - whats the easiest way to tell what edition was used to install it? (e.g. home, pro, OEM, retail)

I can pull the key out of the registry offline but how can you find out what version that key is valid for? (OK 9/10 times with no sticker its going to be a stolen VLK but still...)

Cheers,
Neil
