Hi there,
Went to CompUSA and ran ViewKeyXP from a floppy. Funny thing I don't understand. On all the Compaq's, the key was the same. Same for the HP's, each HP key was the same. Ditto on the Sony Vaio's.
I was under the impression that each PC you buy with XP home had a different key for WPA purposes. I know they come pre-activated, but what about if you reformat? Do you think they're using blanket keys that will activate on different machines from the same company or is there a different one in the box when you bring it home? I'm trying to get a copy of XP Home to try it out.
(Mods: Move this if it's in the wrong section. My apologies...)
