Microsoft to disable product activation over Net

Microsoft to disable product activation over Net.
Customers who find themselves reinstalling Windows XP should be ready
for a headache: Microsoft will no longer support activating the product
over the Internet.
Intended to curtail the stealing and selling of certificates of
authenticity, the new security measure will start at the end of this
month. At first, it will be limited to the Windows XP software
preinstalled on systems shipped by the top 20 PC sellers. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service]
