Hey guys, integrate SP2 into a copy of your WinXP CD, and then look at the unattend.txt file in the i386 folder, see a product key at the bottom? If so, post the first 5 digits here, I want to see if there's a bug here:

Mine starts with :

CD87T

Does yours?

If it's different, I suggest we test them on a virtual machine and post our results, see if the cd keys work

Those of you with AUTHENTIC CD KEYS, see if it's the same as the CD Key you used, I know MINE isn't

M$ is stupid! Oh yeah...

RH6M6

Its valid too!

riiiiight ... why would anyone want there key posted publically?
if it does contain the key.. all someone has 2 do is say "yes, i have a key in there too"

Hey smartass, you can't do anything with only 5 digits, and I want to see if there's a rythm, so relax

Its OK, as long as no one posts the full key!

im sure if microsoft made it they knew what was in it.. there is most likely a catch behind this

And here I stand, PROUD to be the finder of a GENUINELY HUGE flaw!

Edit: Well, so I thought.........lol

[XL-DJK]

Well, then why would the keys work then if this is a known flaw in the OS?

It even allows you to connect to WinUpdate and download updates as well..........

yeah, I'd have to rate this as critical

Edit: Downgraded rating to: Unknown...LOL

[Smiley]

Mine start with CD87T also.

[MCT]

well... ms could figure if u have a key(purchaced xp legally) they could give u a free key upgrade

personally.. im sure they checked it 100x over b4 releasing it , so it HAS 2 be planned

Its also in the network install package... That's where I checked it!

My bad... It starts with CD87T for the PRO install and RH6M6 for the HOME install...
