If you consistently prevent XP from contacting Microsoft, it will quit working after sixty days.
Do you know this for a fact? That would imply that you can't run WindowsXP without an Internet connection, which I find hard to belive - there's still plenty of offices and home computers without Internet connections. Do you know this from eXperience (pun intended), or did you red that somewhere?
I think this particular call is just setting the system time, but the license code also depends on servers at Microsoft.
