Sad but true.

At work, I had to install XP to test my software, and I was shaking my head
that after you install XP, you have 30 days to 'activate' it with M$.
Fail to do so, and the software locks up.
Do so, and that 300$ OS is then tied to that machine - legally, even if that
machine breaks, or if you just upgrade to another machine, you have to give
M$ another 300$ for another copy.

Our 233 Mhz, 64 MB test box can _barely_ budge under the load of XP.  What a
pile.
