WSJ on Windows XP -- 5:34 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

If you've been living in a cave, you may not have heard any of our rants about Windows XP. You may think that XP is going to be the greatest thing since QuickBASIC. Check out this here article from the Wall Street Journal which describes in detail the problems you'll see from Windows XP's new registration process. Lots of fun!

A.T. Hun comments: This article is nothing new to most computerphiles, but it is interesting to see even a mainstream publication like WSJ saying that XP activation stinks to high heaven. Maybe this will force M$ to change their ways (highly unlikely) or give casual users (read: non-geeks) the motivation to look elsewhere for an OS. I know I am.
