our son has "lent" our Windows XP Pro to a friend who
activated it over the internet. At about the same time we
were suddenly unable to access any microsoft sites that
require a password such as hotmail, The zone, MSN forums,
etc., though we are able to access other sites normally.

According to one faq
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;302878&Product=winxp) i read, multiple activiations
just fail. There is no other effect. I have copied the
piece below.
What occurs if you try to install and activate a product
on more computers than the EULA permits?
Installing the product on more computers than the EULA
permits is a violation of the EULA. Technically, MPA does
not limit the number of computers on which the product can
be installed. For example, it is possible to install the
Windows XP on 100 computers, but activation would not be
successful on 99 of those computers. If you installed
Office XP on 100 computers, activation would not be
successful on 98 of those computers. This limits the
usefulness of the installations that are in violation of
the EULA. Outside MPA, Microsoft does not know how many
computers have Windows XP or Office XP family products
installed.
