I paid for the OS and I don't want the OS making ANY uneeded or unwanted communication with Microsoft. Microsoft has a bit of a shady past with dealing with other businesses if you know what I mean.

sa usually stands for 'Software Assurance' when dealing with MS.
Maybe it's just checking if you have a valid license?
Actually I think it has something to do with the Help and Support Center in XP conntecting for better search results.
Not sure....I don't use XP.
