ok, let's clear this up MS - is Product Activation really restricted?

I've read one thread about Product Activation and the problems incurred
doing it a limited number of times. I myself have had to this even with an
OEM version of XP. So I'm confused about whether or not it IS necessary. For
example, I didn't realise the number of times you could activate it was
limited. I know this may be a precaution against piracy, but MS should
realise that people have to reinstall their OS for many reasons, and just
because they do it often or "too frequently" DOESN'T mean they're a friggin
pirate! Sometimes a clean reinstall of the OS is like a breath of fresh air
for your pc! This may come as a shock, but sometimes the OS is the cause of
the problem: refusal to recognise drivers, etc, as well as the unlikely
event of you finding a driver for your hardware that IS "XP compliant". Yes,
yes as long as you buy your stuff from the Windows Catalog lol

I'd appreciate responses directly from MS-reps, if possible.
