Okay, while I admit that most people asking for methods to bypass activation are thieves: Not everyone who needs a bypass is a thief.
I've found, in my digital travels, that most people who lash out and call people thieves (or whatever) only do so to conceal the fact that they don't have any relevant information. That aside, there are those of us who payed good money for our Operating System only to have the disc lost, stolen or broken. And, before you dive into "why didn't you just get your key off your system" and all that: I would have, had I known of a way to access it without logging into XP first. DOS bootdisk can't read NTFS, so that wasn't an option. Neither was logging in. Working with User Group profiles left me stuck with none of my users able to log in (Not even the Administrator account). Reformatting would wipe the Product ID information, so it's not like I could take that path and still get my key back. So... no analog product key since the disc was stolen and no digital product key since I couldn't get into the OS to read an OS info report.
Yes, I contacted MS. Yes, they were very helpful. If you consider tree stumps helpful when it comes to passing your next astrophysics exam. They told me to buy a new disc. Sorry folks, but I'm not spending over $400 for one Operating System.
The point: If you have information, share. If you don't have it or don't wish to share it: don't post. The more you post useless items such as flames, the more cluttered you make the web for those of us who are searching for useful information.
