when does this appear? when you go to windows update it validates your install to make sure that your windows is genuine - was winwp reinstalled during the repair?

Reminders kept popping up. So after some deliberating i did it...my XP is genuine (first genuine Windows i've ever had ;D ) but i didnt like the idea of Microsoft having my IP address and whatever else...
