Microsoft may be readying the next escalation in the Product Activation wars for the release of WinXP Service Pack 1, according to a report at BetaONE. The site claims that Microsoft has done a rewrite of the way corporate product activation keys are generated, and that although this feature is currently switched off in the SP1 beta, it'll be unleashed when SP1 goes live, the idea being to ambush all of the people using leaked corporate XP Professional keys.
