I did a full format, not quick like before, on installation and there has been no message to activate Windows. I'll be able to hang on to my copy hassle free for good.

Lets check again in 30 days. :)

Anyway, what's the problem with activating the windows? If your HW changes too much you can call them and get the code to activate it manually. Well at least that's how it worked couple of years ago.

The problem only started when I download updates. I switched that option off.

Well that is a mistake. You'll be pwned in no time.

Apparently my disc doesn't require activation by default, it's just then when you let Microsoft poke around via updates it sets off the activation thing.

Well, you do have the license sticker in your machine right? If so, why not just activate?
