So far, I've not attempted to activate by phone (which, I understand, is
automated) - but at this stage in the game, would it make any
difference? Or have MS finally totally screwed up any possibility of
installing XP?
So far, i have never seen a peep about "activation" during or after
an install of XP.

Please explain! Don't all XP installations need to be activated?

Short answer: NO; Never. Product code for install is NOT "activation".

So what happens when the 30 days are up?
