If I understand correctly, doesn't XP have to check in with Big Brother to remain active? Not that I condone pirating an OS (or any software) but I just don't like the idea that my computer is being tracked to keep the OS from being installed on more than one machine. Somehow I'm guessing that it's providing more than just the serial number for XP. And does it have to continue checking in periodically? -makmac -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
