wondering about xp. when i installed it the first time i learned that
microsoft had taken a big step against pirating. i had to activate my
edition, if not it would stop running in about 30 days. but now i learned
from friend who run pirate editions of xp and they say they have no problem
running it. ok when activating u send your serial nr to to microsoft, and
they only permit one user. but people i know use the same pirate.
