Dear All, 

Friday evening is rapidly approaching...

Luckily....when I checked this morning my bittoorent d/l of Mdk10 is nearly
there so by this evening I may be able to tempt him with the latest &
greatest
...

Never the less:

Any answers to:

Fact or Myth 

A) If you install the same copy of XP on 2 machines & XP realises (e.g.
via some sort of LAN traffic) it will turn off one of the machines/stop it
booting
&/or will send a message to MS in some way.

True or false?

B) If you go to Winupdate, MS will "know" that you have the same
copy on 2 machines & at that point MS will send a message to the
machine which will shut it down/ prevent it from rebooting or will send BSA
stormtroopers around to beat your children till you cough up the readies
(cash to you yanks).

True or false?

C) That if you change hardware it will then check with MS &...yup you
guessed it...shut down the machine or prevent it from re-booting, send
round the BSA stormtroopers etc.

True or false?

D) That none of the above happen with Win2K.

True or false?

E) That XP OEM is different in it's behaviour wrt all this compared to XP
"retail box set".

True or false?

F) Any other similar things wrt same XP copy on 2 machines?


?????

Esp points A,B & C as they were the ones I rubbished the most. 

TIA
