[ltp] VMware 4.0 - Activation problems

[Tod Harter]

There really is no legitimate way to deal with the problem, except to register 
XP on the VM...

The issue is that the virtual hardware just isn't the same as the real 
hardware, so XP thinks it has to reregister itself. You would have to run 
seperate installs of XP and have seperate licenses to live by MS's rules I 
guess.
