Cracking The Xp Activation

[Nitro]

Hi, everyone

This spost may seem dumb etc.. but thnx for those who will help me.
I installed Windows Xp on my PC yesterday. Only one problem --> it's windows Xp, that is delivered with a DELL computer. It will only work on a Dell PC it says..

Well, I installed it ( I haven't got a DELL) and it gave no probs, except for the fact that i have to activate it in 30 days..
My question is: if I do not activate, what will happen then? Will my OS crash??
Can i use the same Key as my friend, or will DELL track it down and shut it off?

Or can i just use it, but don't run any updates on my PC ?

And if it will crash, what can i do to bypass it?

Thnx for all who will help me,
and sorry for my bad english, i'm from europe http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Greetz.

The best Warez minds have been trying to break that since it came out. And they have only been able to bypass it by using a Volume License Version of XP.

As far as I know, it still hasn't been cracked.

You can use the same key as your friend, as long as he/she is no longer using WinXP.  You do know the key's good only for one PC, right?  Also technically your friend may be the only one who can use it, since OEM is often tied to the PC it came with, but I don't think they'd mind as much if your friend was no longer using it.
