Your post does not relate to the matter at hand, which is "what the activation message means". Quite frankly, we don't care about what you think of XP, or Microsoft's anti-piracy stance - I would urge you to read the FAQ (http://forum.pcmech.com/misc.php?s=&action=faq) and see that we take a tough stance towards piracy and discussions of piracy. If you find the software as crappy then perhaps you shouldn't be out there searching for cracks and warez.
The thread is open in the hope that it will not degenerate to something that will not be allowed on this forum, and in the hope that the thread starter, or others will get the answer (if they havent already.

While not actually explaining what product activation is, ive merely added my opinion to the thread which is to say that i dont think its effective and they shouldn't have bothered with the activation process, especially when it makes it difficult for users who port HDD's or test components, as it resets itself, and also adding the thought that i think there are many people out there who's sole purpose is to circumvent these measures, and subsequent to that, i've also told of my gratefullness to them, a)for being subversive in the first place and b)saving me money.
I've posted no crack/hack/product key or otherwise, and have merely expressed an opinion. And if you are not prepared to listen to my opinion or acknowledge it, then i see that childish behaviour as a complete contradiction to the "American Dream" (said with excess sarcasm) because you're trying to supress my view because you're worried about those beaurocratic pigs over at Microsoft who charge around the place like the proverbial bullies they are, pricing XP and MSOFFICE at ridiculous prices, thinking they can run the software world. And can you honestly tell me you OWN a liscence to every piece of software on you computer? Can anyone? I dont think so...
