Windows 98 does not require activation. XP activation can be backed up for a particular machine, and survive minor updates like a hard drive.
But, much like 98, I am sure a support community will emerge. See the Windows 98 Forever campaign. No joke, and you can run 98 today still get support, and with fairly recent hardware and some support. Recent security updates, updates so that you can run 2k/XP software, usability and reliability updates, hardware drivers for new equipment, available programs, etc.
One thing that Google can't compete for with the library: Focus. I'll go Google for some tidbit for an assignment, and 2 hours later I realise "Oh Crap! I need that tidbit!" because I always find other interesting things along the way and read them. Then another hour goes by, and I come to my senses again..."Oh Crap! I REALLY need to get that tidbit" And so on.
Information overload can get intoxicating.
LOL, i doubt that hospitals have a database/web server connected to someones life support system...
It could disrupt some phone systems, which could cause big trouble. I have an Ethernet PBX at work which goes haywire if there if there is intense computer networking activity.
Mozart was deaf, remember. All he really had to go on was how the music looked and felt, but not really heard.
They say when you lose a sense, your other senses become more acute. Perhaps he was "tuning" his music to some sensory reference we wouldn't normally be conscious of, which had something to do with neuron development.

Alright! So if I climb in this thing and shut the door.....
