When the company runs into the slightest problem with the activation servers, we are expected to sit there with our arms crossed. I do hope that some intelligent hacker out there is watching this and thinking about what they can do to fix the situation ;) I didn’t like activation when it was introduced and i don’t like it now. i think they should rethink the whole activation thing.

I've recently rebuilt my XP installation. Thankfully I installed and activated XP quite early, but Office 2003 is subject to this problem as well and I haven't been able to activate. Activation is fine - until it breaks. I can't call the number?! Wonderful, I can only run Office products 40-odd more times before they get crippled. Not good news :(. Let's hope they fix it soon and maybe take better precautions against SQL worms... What a pain.
