My old MB died so I decided to do a few upgrades anyway...like HDD video and
Motherboard naturally I had to recative as this was my umpteenth time
installing XP, I knew I'd hit the end and would need to activate by phone.
When I called the folks at the activation center and got reactivated they
told me I would have to call everytime I wanted to activate but that wasn't
the case. Any other views on this?

it will only need phone reactivation when you change hardware, or
install on a different computer, i have 3 xp disks, and all of them
have done that to me at some point, i suggest making sure that each
time you install xp, that you do it on the same computer, otherwise
you will have to go through the telephone crap all the time, and if
you do have to ring them, tell tham as little as possible. i recently
read an article concerning microsoft and its vaarious products, did
you know it is no longer illegal to sell your windows disk, as long as
you sell the original, and not a copy, and you supply the key code,
you can now sell the disk to suit yourself. by the way if you dont
believe this, go to ebay and chaeck out how many vista 32 bit disks
are floating about right now. and if it were illegal to sell them you
wouldnt find them there. :)
