I've rebuilt a couple of XP computers for friends last week, I choose the online activation method and all went ok.
Today i started another one, but now it fails the activation. I've even tried activating a technet key (from work) inside a VM and it fails too.
Just to save some time later, i started the Windows updates, WGA complains XP is not activated, then takes me to a MS Webpage saying since XP can't be purchased anymore it won't activate.
Does anyone know if Microsoft has taken down the activation servers for XP?
