it's a logical progression, Gary V supplied a link once, each and every
hardware change adds points to the validation tally, too many points and
xp assumes you've installed xp on TWO different machines, (MS logic,
must be 2 PC's, their hardware is radically different), so you have to
re-validate, which will KILL the validation on PC 1 (which Jim doesnt
care about), I hate validation, but it makes sense, Linux would do the
same if you actually had to pay for it :)
