From CNET:
XP makeover highlights antitrust tweaks


Looks like we may see Freestyle/Mira sooner than we think..at least in beta form.


Interesting to note the changes in the product. Oh, and the free rides on XP look to be ending. MS is going to lock out people using that stray Corporate Code that so many people have been using to install with. Won't be able to install this SP with it on your machine or any further updates.


Of course this will be hacked 5 minutes after release...

Not sure what or they mean by the stray code? Sounds like perhaps they are going to go after one of the wide-spread codes, but having the license key does not disable activation. People pirating it either had a work-around that disabled it, or they had the corporate version with no activation. With the WinXP/Office XP key generator/brute forcer floating around, going after a specific key is worthless now IMHO.
