How many times have you called to Activate Windows XP

[spacejamz]

Inspired by This Thread

Seems now that everytime I reload XP, have to call to activate it...have 3 pc's and a laptop (all running genuine xp operating systems) that I reinstall the OS about every 8 months or so...

On some of these re-installs, I have to call even if there were no hardware changes....

I do have backup image disks, but since i alway get the latest drivers, etc, I would rather install from scratch...

probably called about 3 times this year already...anyways....

More than 4, it's a major nuisance.

once. they don't even care why you're calling, they'll just give you the key.

well over 100 timesm Dell service provider (until feb. 11th anyway), we used to have to get the OS loaded and activated before we could leave on hdd replacements, I'm glad we only have to do that on special projects now, what a pita.
