 I heard this too.  I would love to see the verification process on knowing whether a XP version is real or cracked.  I think we could all benefit from it. 
 
   
Not sure what country you're from, but it is possible a cracked version was installed when you purchased your system.  I've picked up systems in different countries and have had pirated versions installed, and XP is even more unstable then it normally is.
