    Microsoft's Activation...

    Really isn't that painful. I've had to activate my copy of Windows XP about 6 times total now, and it's slightly annoying since when upgrading you have to activate after every major change, but the calls are pretty simple, and the support has been pretty good. Well, just thought I'd let you all know, you always hear the problems, but you never hear the praises.

    I tried, but I guess you can only do that so many times.

    I'm almost certain that my university sold me a corporate version since I've never had to activate it...
