XP Activation
Microsoft better figure a way out for this one. They are going to have an end of lofe cycle for XP and it is just around the corner.
Unlike 98 or 2000 Pro, XP has this built in activation scheem in the name of PIRACY (yea right) and has now positioned itself to flip the switch and everyone will have no choice but to use Vista - Oh Boy!!!
OEM licenses cannot be transfered and they are going to stop selling new XP Licenses for new systems and then what.
I remember this same issue with ME and the masses just stayed with 98 until something better like XP came along.
