Register XP

[Confused]

I read in another thread some advice to activate XP but not to register it. I've always registered it when I activated.

What are the pro's and con's about registering?

I never register. I don't know what the differnce is though.

Registering just gives M$ your e-mail address so that they can spam you.

From M$:

"Product registration provides Microsoft with information that facilitates product support and allows us to provide you with the most appropriate new product and product update announcements."

Well then no problem since I give them a hotmail address anyway.
