Microsoft that you are running the same XP cd on two PCs?

AFAIK, Larry , they can tell when you use "Windows update" to patch your O.S.. The O.S. has "anti-piracy software" built into it to authenticate your copy. Kind of like how you need your CD key to play NWN online. The only diffrence is that Microsoft will disable WinXP under the guise of "updateing files and folders". Also, since it isnt DOS based, there is no way to open the DOS shell and recover originals of the changed files. In the nastygram my friend got when he complained about it they told him that his program came with ONE license and could only be used in ONE machine. They offerd to sell him another licence for his room mates machine for close to what he spent on buying XP in the first place.
