http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation/mpafaq.asp has been
"updated" on many occasions.

It also says:

"The only information required to activate is an installation ID (and,
for Office XP and Office XP family products such as Visio 2002, the name
of the country in which the product is being installed)."

Yet when you call up for activation, you are also required to give more
info than just the installation ID, (and for Office XP, the country.)

Jack,

The reason you have not seen an "official word" is that one has not been
made yet.
We still have over 3 years of the standard support to run on Windows XP Home
Edition.
Once a public statement and final decision on what course of action is to be
followed - we would no doubt be making the appropriate announcement.

So, this convicted felon company, M$, can make a product that is far
overpriced and not supported very well, accuse any potential owner of the CD of
being a thief of some sort, make it damn near impossible to return the garbage
for a refund, and tries to tell people what they can and can't do in their own
homes...sells this product with absolutely no idea 'how' they'll support it nor
for how long!? Would you buy a car from someone that worked the same way (I'm
using the car analogy, because it seems the M$ apologists are too stupid to
understand anything else). Would you buy your home this way or apartment? What
about the refridgerator and freezer that holds your food fresh?
M$ is a pure pyramid scheme, a convicted felon, and you want to let people
think this is fine and how things *should* be!?

Moron! Who said "need?" A real man, that finds himself wanting to call
someone a *dick*, isn't afraid to say it. Unlike the bugger that has to
veil it with 'richard.'

You mean 'hide your heads in the sand'. You haven't the intelligence to argue
your way out of a wet paper sack, so instead, label those who *do* argue
against you as 'nuisances' and try oh so hard to not be shot down again by
them. You're a moron. Maybe you should try a warmer, softer place than the sand
to put your head...like up your ass.

No John, I am not saying anything about what people can run on there
system.
The original poster commented that he did not think VL media was an option
and would wait for a formal answer from us as to our plans post end of life
of Windows XP. My point was if we ever released a patch to remove WPA from
XP then it would be then a product that was out of support and well past
it's end of life.
If a person wishes to continue to use a product out of support or past end
of life then as long as they accepts those responsibilities issues that may
come as part of that then they can do as they please.

Why is VL Media not an option for you ?

If you wait for the announcement - you run the risk of then accepting the
fact that if we ever did release a patch to disable WPA if would be for
products that are then extremely old and no longer supported for hotfixes or
security fixes etc and thus surely would not be acceptable for use in your
environment.

Now you're deeming what's acceptable for people to have on their systems too!?
There's still a *LOT* of people who use W98, and still a good number who use
W95, and even a number who still use DOS. M$ never asked any of these people if
they did or didn't like their "old" products/apps, and instead, told everyone
how tits XPee is, but threw in the fine print the garbage about how it *might*
support some older apps. Sounds real good. Literally telling people what they
need and don't need, what they want and don't want. It's easy to see now why
the M$ morons actually even *thought* and then implemented partially, the M$
Loo...you want to tell them how they should wipe their asses now too!

Yes, and I've even been hung-up on by the MicroAutomaton PA reps for
just for asking to talk to their supervisor. And I'm not the only one
that has accidently happened to.

You should actually know what you're talking about. I haven't enough
MicroMorons that attack me with total BS.

Those people that have vlk. Must of some how changed
the product key to get Activation Request or deleted some files.

So it becomes a home or pro version key instead of a
vlk license.

Since you are God, I would imagine that to be the case, but since I'm
having a few problems dealing with questions of my very existense, that
questioning veracity of my imagination won't be of much help at the
moment!


So let me get this straight. You're God, and I don't exist, so
therefore nothing is flawed?

Since you just had a moment of indecision, you are not infallible, therefore
you must now destroy yourself.

PS,

When you do destroy yourself, would you take a few mvp's, amethyst aka

Speak for yourself, not the entire group. I care what he writes

have the option of skipping them or filter him out.
