i never had to phone activate XP and i had a fairly large user base i installed. if of course you were at maybe 3-4 times in less then a month that can occur. i did have to call in about office 2007 once. it then took about 10 minutes to resolve.
there is a pattern of use they generally work with. the cycle per product is roughly 120 days and in general 3 reloads and afyer the 3rd load and +120 and the install clock zeros out. so essentially if you load it up a lot they are going to take some interest.
