Can someone tell me what MS had to activate on Windows XP? I had a hard drive crash and had to replace it however when I tried to activate my XP I could not do it via the web. Since I had already activated it once I had to call them to explain why I needed it done again and they were not happy. How can they do that? I had to pay full price for it and by doing so thought that it was mine. I did not pay that much money for them to have control over my machine. I asked the operator that answered the phone that but didn't get an answer. I figure it's so we can only put it on one computer but I thought that once you paid your hard earned money for something it was yours. I had no idea that it was not a complete system.
