Yeah I know this has been discussed several times over and over. But I just wanted to share this with somebody. I bought a new laptop with Windows XP pro preinstalled some month ago, and now was the time to install windows again. So I did and then it came to the activation process. First I tried the standard over the internet activation, but it told me I need to change my key? But it's a brand new second time installation. Well the only option then was to call MS (What is the purpose of telling people to get a new key? Isn't that the same as buying a new Windows CD?) Anyway I called and after the hideous and terrible long comercials and other info stuff you have to listen to, I got through to the actual activation. But then the next error arrose, it didn't accept the code I entered (With that many numbers the odds are big to miss type but I'm pretty sure I got it right) So the I waited to talk to a service person, now I'm sitting in Greenland so I have a danish version of XP. I called the Danish number, but the person I got to talk to was Norwegian!!! I didn't understand a word he was saying! And he didn't understand me. So I hung up and I'm now trying to get my anger down to a level where I can call again and try the whole thing one more time Now that's what I call service! And what's the alternative? There aint none, cause I got to have my XP and it has to be activated
