I don't know if they disabled their activation call centers too back then, but I'm guessing that by now they probably did. So MS obviously disabled their activation servers. I know the servers were down, because it said it couldn't connect to the activation server, and I verified I did have a working connection in my VM by using a web browser in my XP installation running in its 30 days trial mode. I tried to install a legit Windows XP on a VirtualBox VM, using and ISO dumped from my own physical legit WinXP install CD I found that it wouldn't activate over the internet (though I didn't try calling the acivation phone number, it's possible that was down as well). They shut down their activation servers a couple years ago.
