I didn't try to deceive any Microsoft representative, or purposely do a work around. I replaced my mobo. I told MS what I did, including the built pc with the original Dell processor and they still activated it. Honestly, whether or not its licensed to dell or not, its not my problem they activated it. Its not like I'm going around a giving people copies of my XP or building more than one computer with the same disc. I felt paying Dell twice as much for a replacement mobo was ridiculous.
