Remember you don't own XP, just a limited time license to use unless you 
purchase a retail license, and even then it's a right to use for three(?) 
serial, non concurrent installs. IANAL but its much closer to a lease, or rather 
its a game with WGA that m$ is playing. They (M$) say before they EOL XP they 
will let you download a "self activating patch" so you can continue to use.

Right. And how does that benefit m$ shareholders? Don't you know how dangerous 
it is to use XP on a network...

All I want for christmas is a bunch of Mac Mini's with 3 Ghz dual core CPU's...
