Re: Puzzled about Windows XP Activation! on the surface,
this searchname sounds like he is trying to use XP on several machines and is pissed off on the hassle it is to accomplish this. who do you think you are fooling? |

| That's a serious accusation. Of the 9 times I've reinstalled XP, 1 of those times I had to make the call to MS. It happens. I format my PC just about every 3 months or so, so I guess I'm guilty as well:( |

Oh, you are just SO smart! NO, I am upset that I have to call Billy everytime I upgrade my system, just relieved I didn't have to do it this time. My wife's machine is the only other machine we have and she is content with Windows 2000 Pro. I think I would be too, had I known about this hassle!
I am building a 3rd machine w/ parts I have laying around ... I'm going to start learning Linux for kicks. I'm not sure if I'll use Mandrake or Red Hat, but will start work on it next week!
Thanks for the replies (well, from most of you!):).
