I know that "WAREZ" is a REAL big issuse. So if this post needs to be deleted, that's ok. I'm unclear about the page. So can anyone that has a cracked copy of XP Pro. use that program, and get a new key?

the program tells you what your exsiting serial is, and if it matches one of the "high profile" ones on the list.. be prepared to get either 1) a legal copy of xp or 2) find a new serial or 3) back up everything
