Sorry, it just seemed like one of the many times people have told me I'm
doing something wrong, or that my key is pirated or invalid, or whatever... I
didn't mean it personally, it just seemed like up until now most people were
assuming that the issue was on our end, and not a problem with the
verification system...

3 weeks and it still isn't fixed... Considering we're nearly a third of the
way through the free upgrade, I'm a bit touchy about not having it work
before july 31st

I not sure if this would be good news or bad news...

I purchased my copy of Windows XP Pro from a local shop (PC Club in Murray,
Utah) and built the system myself from parts.
I was not able to use my PID (the one with the -OEM- in it) but I WAS able
to use the COA on the sticker and it worked without any problems.

Thanks,
John

Well, it's good news from one standpoint -- it at least means that the folks
who can find their COA shoudl be OK. Now if the vendor could just fix the OEM
issue for PIDs...
