This was answered a long time ago. A system change means a motherboard change. Not just a replacement of a defective motherboard, but an upgrade.

Where in the H**LL did you get that statement?

I'm thinking he means that replacing a motherboard re-activates Windows Authentication.

When you  Activate Windows after the motherboard replacement, that's your "Second Activation".

I have to call MS and activate over the phone because I've upgraded my XP machine so many times.  And I swear it's only running on one machine.

Wow...that sounds real convenient.

Think I'll stick to my W2K Pro.

(Although we do have 2 XP machines at home and I use one at work. My W2K machine has the least problems/headaches of them all.)
