Don't you mean freeware? Is there anything (apart from conscience) stopping a person:
1. Installing (not activating) and re-arming thereby getting their 120 days
2. Backing up their work files;
3. At the end of 120 days using a Linux bootable CD to format the disk (fat32 or even ex2fs)
4. Reload the Vista drive and starting at the first step?
Seems like a big oversight for Microsoft. I'm sure this will be patched.
