Activation can be disabled through a number of different processes while running in "Safe Mode". Check astalavista.box.sk for a good Activation Crack, but beware than many of these are labeled incorrectly and are actually just SP1 upgrade hacks (from corporate version). Basically, you just change your key to a supplied key thats in the program (wonder why Miscrosoft hasn't blacklisted these keys?!?!) and then you can use Windows Update just fine (since corp key is blacklisted).
