CC>All valid and good points!  I think the activation scheme may not last

Don't bet the farm on that. I'd hazard a guess that 90+
percent of the XP users are businesses and those that buy
their PCs at the stores, use them just as they came out of
the box and add/modify them very little. Only a very small
percentage of the computer users (of ALL OS systems) are
like us - know the innards of their PCs. That being the case
MS will be able to make XP fly!
