Wow. You are lucky. I've had tons of problems with reactivation. On one 
computer, I replaced the motherboard and the MS activation team couldn't 
get me activated no matter how many hours and hours I spent on the phone 
with them, escalating up the chain of command. I ended up *actually* 
having to buy a 2nd copy of WinXP (if you can believe it!) to solve the 
problem. Truly they've still got serious issues with activation. Funny 
thing is, you can find bootleg copies of XP, so the pirates must be 
happy, it just the honest customers who are screwed.
