It's my understanding that SP2 will NOT be looking for non genuine OS's.

Same restrictions as Sp1. If the CD Key is in the "banned list", it will
not install. "Rich Barry" wrote in message ... It's my understanding that SP2 will NOT be looking for non genuine OS's. wrote in message ...

drum118: Where did you hear June 14? Per Google: "Update: 2148 was just released for certification testing and the release day has been pushed to June 11. Stay tuned for further updates." |

I never had this problems in all the years of reformatting and reinstall any OS. Always keep my data on other partitions as it is easy to blow away the OS and other programs during testing and not worry about it and do backup on it. I have never had to backup my music that have been transfer off LP to MP3. Never seen this before. MS just gave me a CD for RC1 SP2 when I already DL it last week. |

We are speaking of Windows XP, not RC1-SP2. That said, why all of this:
I never had this problems in all the years of reformatting and reinstall any OS. Always keep my data on other partitions as it is easy to blow away the OS and other programs during testing and not worry about it and do backup on it. I have never had to backup my music that have been transfer off LP to MP3. Never seen this before. What does it pertain to? I have the real thing and it was given to me by MS at one of their meetings. Which meeting? Did I see you there? MS just gave me a CD for RC1 SP2 when I already DL it last week. The download has been available for a great while to the public. -- All the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP 2004 Windows MVP "Winny" Award Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "drum 118" wrote in message ...

Depends on the Product Key that was used to install XP. If you are using a PK that was had over file-sharing or off a web site, then you probably will get locked out. If you used the "xp keygen," the chance are very small, and you most likely won't get locked out. Same for activating using a friends PK, as long as he didn't give it out to the a whole crapload of people. There have been rumors that MS was considering not blocking anyone so that all computers could be patched and less vulnerable to becoming spam zombies, or worse. But MS killed those rumors. Too bad, the idea makes sense as a matter of Global network security. But know one can ever accuse MS of doing what is right and makes the most sense, when it comes to "Trustworthy Computing," and computer security. -- Peace!
