xpsp2

[Raitis]

i'd like to know whether Microsoft will allow to install xp sp2 on machines running pirated versions xp,
i've heard, that the main idea of sp2 is to make xp more secur and stable than sp1, not fight with pirats

We will allow service pack 2 to install on any copy of Windows XP except
those built from a small group of known heavily-pirated activation codes.

Correct - Service Packs do not require a reactivation.
