Yet, Microsoft is SO contemptuous of its own customers, that it puts logic in Windows Vista that will cause it to later capriciously de-activate and nag customers to go through activation and validation again, and again, and again, and again.
Windows Vista is either genuine or it's not. Once validated, that should be the end of it.
