Its $3.99 so I take it that's 2 pounds?

Seems pretty cheap considering it may be able change your windows product key to a "legal" one.

Although I suppose we've already got legal copies of Windows haven't we!

that productsimply allows you to alter the existing key to new one.. you have to actually get the key yourself though.. that prg doesn't provide it.

which if all is does is change the key.. this can easily be achieved using one of the several guides online for free

Do you know if this allows you to change the key aswell?

I believe the one for £2 allows you to change your keys for other products aswell. I suppose its whatever takes your fancy!

It certainly does for Windows 95, 98, ME, and XP using the script on Microsoft's site. I'm not sure about Office and Norton, but my guess would be if its being sold for £2 it must be pretty simple to do it yourself with a bit of research on the internet. If it saves hassle its possible there might be some use for it.

Yup, Jellybean does the windows key and office as far as I remember.
Very useful in my job where computers and laptops are delivered with windows etc. already installed but not with the company keys. Rather than re-install the lot I use jellybean to just change the keys to the corporate ones.

From the website of he software linked by OP:
"Windows XP Home and Proffesional (without Service Pack2 installed) only."

Doesn't appear to work with XP SP2, which ok, if you were changing the key it might be so you could install SP1/SP2 without any issues, but i believe some people had successfully installed SP2 and later encountered problems with Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) so this would be of no use to you. Also, they need to learn how to spell Professional.
