Good information, but it doesn't really belong in the News topics, I'm afraid. I'm sure the Admin Moderator will adjust the topics.

That's why people should switch to Apple or Linux. No product activation is ever required on those operating systems. Something to think about if you don't care to call home to Microsoft upon setting up Windows XP.

I just bought a new laptop (the old one was from '98). The operating system is Windows XP Professional. (Not that I needed it. That's all they had.) I had CompUsa install everything for me. However, I noticed that my name is on some of the files. (The installer used my name right off the receipt.) Is there any way I can get my name off of my files?
