I believe he knows that Office 2003 will not work with Windows ME. He said
as much. That's why he is trying to get the Windows XP key so he can reload
it!

Carey is right. It will run only on 2000 and XP. Besides ME was not a real
operating system. It was an April Fool's joke that Microsoft was playing on
people buying new systems.

Yes, I know that, and obviously so did the OP that I quoted. I was
making fun of Carey for effin' restating it to the OP who had already
said he knew it. Hell, it was the OP's main reason for why he's trying
to find a way to recover his lost XP Product Key in the first place.

Carey has the tendency towards not comprehending the posts he replies
to, from time to time, and needs a love tap or two to get him back on
the straight and narrow.

Besides ME was not
a real operating system. It was an April Fool's joke that Microsoft
was playing on people buying new systems.

ME was MS's first attempt at copy protection. Who the hell in their
right minds would want to copy that piece of sh*t! ;-)

If you can get any results going through MS, just type "XP keygen" in
the search box at the link provided above.

But good luck trying to get a positive response from MS. Let us all
know how that works out.
