mines a copy and i registered it when i installed it, i get all the updates and service packs etc. you can still probably do it: Understanding activation and registrationThere are important distinctions between activating your Windows operating system and registering it.

Product activation and product registration are not the same. Activation is completely anonymous; it requires absolutely no personally identifiable information to complete. Activation is required and ensures that each Windows product is not installed on more than the limited number (usually one) of computers allowed in the software's end user license agreement, or EULA.

During activation, you can also register your copy of Windows. Registration is not required; however registering your copy ensures that you receive product support, product update information, and other benefits. The process registration takes only a few minutes to complete. Personal information (for example, "contact" information such as an email address) is required if you decide to register.

You have a 30-day grace period in which to activate your Windows product installation. If the grace period expires and you have not completed activation, all features will stop working except the product activation feature.

Notes

If you have not yet activated Windows XP, you can do so at any time by clicking the Windows Activation icon in the system tray to initiate activation. Once you have activated Windows XP, this icon disappears from the system tray.
In addition, there are other ways to open the Windows Product Activation Wizard:
To open a system tools item, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click the appropriate icon., then click Activate Windows.
Alternatively, click Start, then Run, and then type "oobe/msoobe /a"..
For more information on product registration for Windows, open the Registration Wizard by clicking Start, then click Run. In the Open box, type "regwiz /r".

When i try to activate windows the "active windows" box comes up but it just stays white?

bit disappointing like, i thought there would be burning people running around jumping out of windows and shit. cheers anyway though

lmao

the gay thing is they haven't updated the icon, I want a snazzy new icon to go with my music player

aye, it's just a Vista skin by the looks of it. still pretty good though
