Windows Product Activation Killer

Found some info on the Net about de-activating WPA so that SP1/SP2 can be installed on an OEM edition. The service packs disable upgrades on the original OEM keys, but by modifying the key, the service packs can be upgraded.

Since this stuff is pretty shady, I won't post any links here. Search for "Windows XP Key Viewer" and "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Keygen" by ORGix. In a way, it's amazing that someone figured out how to hack this stuff. One would think MS would have enough resources to develop something fairly uncrackable....
