Call Microsoft? Can they help me with my problem, especially when it's an OEM-version?
 
Get somebody else's cd-key? But isn't it cd-specific?
 
Find it in the registry? I've only found the product id, which isn't the same as the serial...

Call MS, and they will help you out. If you have the pimpy disk, I am sure they will give you a new key.
