re: Question about 'How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?' Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 4:37 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mark r laskowski (1 messages posted) I dont think that people need to be worried about microsoft being paranoid about us being thives. If we are not doing anything to be acused of then there is nothing to worry about. Most of the computers i,ve purchased have already had the windows product installed. However if i had or anybody else had two computers in my home that needed windows installed ,why should i purchase two disc? It seem,s to me if micro soft was alittel more worried about it,s customers insted of their allmighty dollar they would be more popular in a manner of speaking.When you have the world by the *^!#,s then you can be how ever you want. it dosn,t make it right but sorry to say thats the way it is .sorry for the spelling.thanks for reading. 10/12/2005 On Sunday, February 17, 2002 at 1:41 pm, BW wrote: >I have a comment about How >do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?: > >Microsoft seems so paranoid about piracy.
