[geeks] Windows XP, and activation

[Charles Shannon Hendrix]

Since so many games are "requiring" Windows XP, I'm thinking about
downgrading from Windows 2000 to avoid the hassle of hacking installers
to get around it.

However, I want nothing to do with the activation crap, phoning home,
etc, so I would appreciate some good references to fixing that problem.

I've found good information on cruft removal to basically return it to
what Win2k was, so I'm good there.

I think Microsoft's mission in life is to put users through hell.
