  • Glad to have the information though I hope I needn't use either. Printed 'em out. Just in case. Thanks, Chy.
  • I love this Freudian slip from the second link: . . . Microsoft is the target for a large percentage of the piracy due to their dominance in the operating system and office productivity software markets. They have a right to try to stop or at least control that privacy . . .
  • What about How To Upgrade your computer without being forced to by XP again? Because that's the article I need.
  • Whoohoo! Fight the Power!™
  • What about How To Upgrade your computer Mr. Knickerbocker, what do you mean by "upgrade"? What I don't like is that I own a copy of XP but am not allowed to migrate it to another PC. I own an HP, with XP install CDs, that I wiped and installed Linux on. I'd love to install that XP on another machine, but alas, I'm not allowed to.
  • what do you mean by "upgrade"? I'm using a 400 meghertz processor right now. If I get a faster processor, I'll be forced to buy another XP. It's impossible to upgrade my processor without a new motherboard, which will require a different kind of RAM than I'm using. Microsoft doesn't approve of me doing this.
  • Ah, the "it's not the same computer anymore" crapola. Gotta love it. I'm sure teh haxx0rz have found a way around it, but I'll be damned if I know.
  • Microsoft doesn't approve of me doing this. God that is so wrong.
  • I had to reactivate after installing new RAM. I mean, come on.
  • thanks Chy!
