I have a question about How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?:

Is it true that Australia is one of few, if not the only, country that employs this activation policy for XP? If so WHY????

No, but there is supposed to be a (legal) version of Windows XP available somewhere in Asia where MS have removed the activation requirement to try and encourage people there to buy genuine copies... don't know how successful they've been with that idea though ;-)

Yep, happened last year... it stirred up some controversy on a few forums if I remember correctly - "why should we have to put up with it if they don't?" and similar comments.

I think it was Thailand where MS were going to start selling these copies.

Hmmm....

"why should we have to put up with it if they don't?"

They've got a point, IMO......;)
