   If there is NOT support/update/patches available for XP ...   
   Why are you going to care about activation ???   
      
   Put away your tin-foil hat, M$ is not as 'evil' as Apple,   
   and anyway there are still MILLIONS of computers running XP in   
   Corporate enterprises, and they will be running for a few more years.   
   Plenty of Win98 machines too, running old DOS programs and is   
   unsupported from M$ since 2006, not expiration, not kill-bomb.
