"Dell installs the OEM version of Windows XP without providing you with a valid XP product key. The OEM version doesn't require you to activate, so as long as you don't have to reinstall you're golden, you still get updates and stuff."
Actually you can reinstall XP all you want to, as the Dell version does not require a key to be upon install, nor does it require activation. If you reinstall you will still get updates as long as Microsoft publishes them.
