What a waste of time.

Trying to get my XP laptop activated which came with Vista on the sticker.

The woman was telling me that it's illegal, cannot be done. So I hung up on her.

Rung back, next woman didn't know what I want talking about either. She eventually activated it for me.

Is there a place in the UK you can call and talk to a human with a British accent about activating and XPP install with a Vista licence key

I can't but Mircosoft allow you to use XPP with a Vista Business licence.

Your ment to put in an existing XPP key from another machine, phone the activation line and they tell you a special activation ID for a downgrade licence.

The automated xp line normally lets you activate anyway without speaking to anybody no matter what you say.

I've recently had to phone the automated lines for vista and xp, you just answer a couple of automated questions and it gives you an activation code.

It must reset as well because the next time I used the key it let me activate online.
