It phones home to activate now whether only on one machine or not I'm not sure. I had the original Prod.I.D. Key
for his system.

Yep did one last week. It will activate. The support that M/S dropped was any new critical updates and email and phone support.
Be prepared to install 140+ updates if you are install XP Pro w/SP3.

Has anyone tried to do a clean install of XP in the last month or so?

I am wondering if there is any way to successfully do a clean install of XP since the much publicized "lack of support" from MS. MS support I can easily live without. But the MS sabotage is irritating. It certainly is not driving me toward more MS products.

My guess is that it will not activate, so you end up with a dead machine in 30 days.

Last time I checked, you could still load ms-dos on a box without it being sabotaged. Not that I'd want to. People should be able to move from XP when they want.
