I tell everyone to activate as soon as possible. My rep gave me a special hotline where I can activate BEFORE I even install. This way from Day 1 I am running the full Vista eXPerience and enjoy all that it delivers. The "Pearl" is the future of functionality, and knowing I have an activated copy of this fine piece of architecture makes me feel even better about the choice I made to go Microsoft all the way. My rep and I spent yesterday discussing an even more aggressive activation strategy. My rep mentioned something about tying Windows product IDs to a driver's license and credit card. So that if someone were to illegally transfer Vista to another PC they bought, their charge card would be hit for a license and the DMV would be notified.
