XP re-activation question

[tedsmith]

I still use a copy of Windows XP that originally had 5 activations.
Over the years I have changed or reformatted my drive and reinstalled it more than 5 times.
The last few times I had to phone Microsoft and beg as the automatic internet method told me I had exceeded 5.

When I recently re-activated, the automatic activation worked again.

Does this mean that seeing Microsoft have abandoned XP I can now reactivate as many times as I like?

Anybody heard anything about this?

Just the first few legit offerings I found. I've ordered from Royal Discount several times without issues, so I can vouch for them.
