Bellwaldron,
If the product materials you received qualify as "high-quality counterfeits", Microsoft will evaluate the materials and if they are indeed found to meet their criteria for being high qualit counterfeits, Microsoft will replace them for free with genuine Windows. Keep that in mind as another option if your refund efforts fall short.
It is my understanding that the WGA Kit shipped to USA customers includes a full retail license. There are two major advantages to a full retail license: the product is supported directly by Microsoft, and the license for XP can be moved from one computer to another as long as it is installed and activated on only one computer at a time.
We have been told by posters in other areas of the world (Asia) that in their region, the WGA kit is governed by a supplemental End User Licensing Agreement that limits installation to one computer and does NOT permit the movement/transfer of the license to any other computer.
BTW if you are a developer Microsoft has a special offer for you to acquire legal Microsoft software at reduced prices for developmental purposes thru the MSDN network:
