Activation Code For Windows XP
Since people are selling used copies of Windows XP, what I haven't seen addressed is how do you use the Activation Key if this product has already been used. If you don't have a Valid Activation Key for this product, you will have a locked up computer after 30 days, unless you purchase a NEW, VALID Activation Key!

What a jump back!
My new XP computer is just filled with garbage directory on top of garbage directory on top of directory. I expect that Vista will further the tradition that Bill Gates began and is extending. It's not that I understand there is a choice? I try to live in the real world that Micro-soft seems to be doing their very best to undermine with a new and worse operating system every couple of years. I suppose Gates is making more and more and more while he rips the world off, more and more and more. It is a disgrace to the USA and the earth. I think we could put Mr. Gates in prison, where he belongs, and reclaim our world. Thankyou.

Poorly designed operating system
The only reason i bought YET ANOTHER (cha ching, thank you BG) copy of this operating system is for my mother in law to use (she refuses to switch) all because I upgraded her 4 yr old computer's motherboard and cpu. Hers had a non-branded OEM version in it. 2 years ago i downloaded and installed Ubuntu and not long after Sam Linux on my system and I haven't looked back.
Windoze is nothing but a money drain. I refuse to even put any M$ web browser or email client on her windoze machine for security reasons. Yea Xp is great if you like your hard drive constantly spinning, requires registry cleaning, antivirus, firewall, anti-spyware software, reformats every couple of years. Yea you can get all free versions, but god help you if you start using more than 1/2 your hard drive space AND GATES gets to tell you what to do with it and use it for. With sam linux I am up to 80% hard drive usage and it is STILL as quick as the day I loaded it (two years). Can you imagine buying a stereo for your car and being told you can't take it out and install it in your new car, that you HAVE to buy another one? Oh yea, that would work.
For everyday web browsing/email and if you HAVE to play games on your computer use Windoze. If your smart use a mac or BSD/Linux for everyday use and get a game console to play games.
