there are about 2000 reasons, but the main one that poped into mind firstr, that is how you get the drivers that support the new usb 2.0

then you may have a ilegle copy of xp, as far as it is detected by them,
you may have to call microsoft to get it corrected,

they have certian numbers blocked so that no upgrades can be used,
