I've seen places where you can buy "OEM" versions of Windows XP. It says there might not be any manufacturer support. That probably means no windows updates from their update site, I'm guessing. Is this correct? Can a person still register the OEM versions?

The wizard will give you a toll-free number to call. You will have to read off a code, then they will give you one back. I have done it once, and the person was nice. All they ask for is your first name to call you by. You can register XP also but is optional and told me several times before asking.
