So I heard that MS put a unique ID in the final RTM build of Windows XP. Now my question is: Why would you put a unique id in a CD that is mass-copied? isn't that what the RTM copy is? I'm quite confused. regards, riz...

the final eval copies released to beta testers have them i believe. If you are paranoid about it just copy the files to your HD and remake the CD. That way there is no UUID on the CD.
