Ten, "as I understand it, when you install WinXP, you have about one month before you need to enter an activation code. To do that, you need to log onto Microsoft via the Internet (or call them via telephone if you don't have a connection). WinXP on your system will generate a code based on your hardware setup, including processor, NIC, graphics, etc. You send that code to Microsoft, and then Microsoft will send back an activation code. Voila, your copy of WinXP is now validated." If you change out the video card or sound card or whatever you have to register? This may backfire on MS... Someone who has several computers at home will have to by a copy for each...the hate for MS will build...
