Windows XP will give users 30-days before they’re required to enter a product activation key.

Via The Inq: "Software giant Microsoft has decided to relax its highly popular Windows Genuine Advantage feature on its flagship operating system Windows XP. When the Vole releases SP3 later this year, the refreshed versions of Windows XP will give users 30-days before they’re required to enter a product activation key. This is the same as the system that is offered on Microsoft’s Vista operating system, which is currently as popular as a George Bush impersonator in a Baghdad coffee shop. According to a Volish policy statement, which ended up in the paws of ComputerWorld this is a relaxing of Windows XP because users currently have to enter the activation key while the blighter is installing."


Relaxing Windows Genuine Advantage? Who would have thought Microsoft would bring this policy over from Vista. I imagine they would have been more inclined to keep Vista as easy and open as possible to install in order for more people to adopt it over an old Windows XP. Hey, you won’t hear me complaining about ‘the Vole’ on this one…
