Good to know.. But considering I bought my laptop off of ebay with Windows XP already installed, I don't know if I have a legal copy.. Now do I?

Any way to check on these kinds of things?

And, the converstion going on in the majority of this thread is about WindowsXP SP2 "bugs" and it's reliability as a upgrade, and not software issues that are intended to kill a non valid copy.
