Wow, way to go insinuating that OSnews readers are a bunch of pirates! Don't worry... I'm sure those that went through the hassle of obtaining and "activating" their Windows via alternative means aren't going to fall into Microsoft's little traps easily. But, thanks for the concern nonetheless.

Uh, my copy, is er, legal now too. A couple months ago though I was, uh, misled into, uh, installing an unmarked XP CD. But I have seen the error of my way now and it is all legal and good. For the record, I would like to say I had no knowledge the CD, was, er, not legitimate. I did not have inappropriate use of that CD. ;-)

Before everyone dashes off to locate and install SP-3,
I would consider it highly likely this will deactivate all XP systems activated via "alternative means".
Think about this before you mess up your day.....
