The OEM Windows XP license is technically no longer valid

restore, reinstallation or recovery CD, or the hidden partition
is damaged and unrecoverable, that particular Windows XP
license is no longer valid.

That is so ridiculous and unreasonable. Wow.


Yeah. Carey & Leythos are unreasonable and ridiculous. The longer
you
post to the group and read their nonsense, you'll learn that they are
full of sh*t, and nothing you can say will ever get them to see
reason.

Many computer repair people do just what you do for your customers,
use
generic OEM media and use the customers Product Key for installation.
I
even know that there are MVPs that do it.


Don't forget that there is now the Key Update Tool. It
validates real situations like this in the realm of WPA
and WGA fiction.

Strange, I had to move a customer from Windows XP installed from the
action pack to Windows XP OEM and none of the key hacks would work, and
I could not re-trigger WPA to allow me to enter the new key. A
repair/reinstall worked fine.

Don't forget, unless you're a democrat, people should be responsible for
their own actions or lack of actions.


That's a *really* strange piece of reasoning. If one ignores the lack of a
capital letter, it suggests that by mere adherence to a party dogma one is
either responsible or not. Wow!

If it is meant to have a lower case 'd' as it in fact is presented, then it
is equally strange as it suggests that democracy is irresponsible.

Perhaps in practice, it may be, where people mindlessly accept dogmatic
pronouncements without examining the logical implications.
