    XP Mode retains activation on any system.

    It limits nothing. SLP is just an added opportunity, not something missing.

    I've looked now, seems you're correct, acer-5100. Now I'm schooled too ;)

    Yes, Windows XP Mode works in VirtualBox by extracting everything until you get to the vhd file.

    Obviously you need to get the vhd (which works on vbox, hyper-v, real HW, and even vmware)

    The point is that on vbox you can configure it to mimic the VirtualPC bios, so you can keep the activation w/o changing the product key.

    Vmware can do the same thing (automatically) but only on W7 machines where you have a legit XPmode installation.

    I got the original Windows Update website to work on XP Mode, much better than WUMT which takes 30 minutes each time to search for updates.
