One thing i've been wondering about. It's likely i'm going to be installing XP onto someone's system next week (i know, i know. I'm going to try and get them to try something more recent, but still...) and i'm pretty sure i'm not going to be able to activate it (The old hard drive failed). I guess i'm going to to use other methods but not sure which untrustworthy place I can trust. Anyone able to help? (And yes, i'm even considering installing Mint on there.)

I don't think xp requires ’activation' per se, just a valid key (which it doesn't check online). ---- "The general aim of these science fiction writers is to frighten the people into a state of paralysis or psychological incompetence bordering on hysteria" – FBI informant

Windows update will want to install Windows Genuine Advantage, or whatever it's called. That shit was annoying as heck.

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

IIRC there's some relatively easy trick to disable it (registry hack?).
