"There is no truth in this rumor," Allen Nieman, the Lead Technical Product Manager for Licensing Technologies at Microsoft told me Thursday. "We are not changing the way volume licensing customers install or deploy Windows XP. We are not issuing volume licensing customers new product keys. Volume licensing customers are not impacted by any of the changes we are making to activation in SP1. The only folks impacted by the changes we are making in SP1 are people with illegal copies of Windows."

"The only folks impacted by the changes we are making in SP1 are people with illegal copies of Windows."

HELLOOOOO.....that is the whole point of the story. If you had a legal copy, why would you be concerned????

Go back to your hole and write some code...

That will be real good news and it even sounds more real than all the other rumors, but we will still have to wait and see how it all falls in place.

Thanks for the info
