images/news/microsoft.jpg... But those who have dodgy XP-SP2 OS's beware, If you cant pass the WGA now, don't expect to install SP3 without having problems

Users who install Windows XP Service Pack 3 will not be required to enter Microsoft's product activation key before they use the operating system, according to a Microsoft white paper.

Instead they will get a 30-day period of grace — the same as users of Windows Vista — after which they will have to enter the key to prove that the product is genuine.

Problems can occur if a user legally obtains the software and, for some reason, a problem occurs with validation. By allowing a 30-day period, users have a chance to get the problem fixed while they are using the software.

Instead they will get a 30-day period of grace — the same as users of Windows Vista — after which they will have to Apply the Crack to Prove stupid Microsoft that the product is "GENUINE".. :)
