How MS might vape invalidated WinXP systems | |

Microsoft's product activation process doesn't know who you are, and is, says the company, entirely anonymous. So if you try to activate with an invalid product key, or after you've done a little cracking you're using an invalid key, there isn't actually anything Microsoft can do about you - or is there? But it's been pointed out to us that Microsoft has a mechanism for getting you to zero your own key, and that it has used it in the past. We refer you to Microsoft support article Q255503, "OFF2000: Program Quits Immediately After Starting When SR-1/SR-1a Update Is Applied". | ||
