    You mean, alter the key algorithyms, just like they did with XP and SP1?

    RTM (or SP0 as it's also called) uses a different key sequence than SP1/SP2 do.

    Which causes those of us who work on customer's machines to discuss Bill Gate's possible ancestry and sexual habits to no end ... since, if you repair with a RTM copy of XP, you'll have to reinstall all the service packs AND updates, but if you use a SP2 CD to do a repair, you can't use the customer's key! And guess what? There's no mark as to which key it IS!

    Anyone have a program that I can toss a key to and it'll tell me the SP it relates to?
