Good point Alan, I completely forgot that MS loaded a cd-key or two that
belonged to the first heavily grey market copies into the SP1
installer. So when some owners of the grey market copies ran the installer
there would be some negative results like failing applications or message
asking them to visit MS's anti-piracy site. HTH
