Thanks Robert for this one:
Microsoft's offer to sell home users extra licenses to use their Windows XP software on additional PCs is a hit. It's such a big hit, you can't find the licenses anywhere.
Windows XP's product activation, which essentially ties the copy of the operating system to the PC on which it's installed, is intended to stop the illegal practice of installing the OS on multiple PCs. To further encourage multiple-PC homes to play by the rules, Microsoft offers additional licenses for slightly less than the cost of the initial retail package (the offer doesn't apply to owners of new PCs with Windows XP). The problem: A month after Windows XP's release, Microsoft has already run out of licenses.

Home users seem to be coming badly unstuck when tangling with the new security features of Windows XP. Now it's possible for them to set up one account on their machine with administrator rights, and lesser accounts for the kids, less significant other, cat and so forth - but setting things so that the right people get access to the right programs? Hmm, tricky...
