Basically it says even though you bought VIsta, you don't really own Vista, and MS can control most of the sh*t you do using Vista.

Yup. Read the terms and conditions. They are pretty interesting.

And that is why some 600,000 users of a windows based operating system are using cracked or illagitament copies.

Onyx.. MS could do that before Vista too..
True enough. However, I can use XP to install a cracked copy of just about any piece of software out there, including MS software. Try that with Vista.
XP never had a clause saying that MS could look at your installed apps and remove any of them without consent from the licensee. Vista license agreement allows them to do that. Vista is nothing like XP and it won't take people long to figure that out.

They can now reliably track the destination of P2P transactions.
That's where I was burnt apparently.

Considering that when mainboard and harddrive changed, it is handled as a new computer, that really really sucks.

Coldblood, No offense towards Linux (I use linux) but there is no DX10 support, at least until WINE gets some kick ass upgrades done.

Ooh...I pray that unofficial DX10 drivers are released for XP...how sweet that would be.

Slightly Wrong. New processor does not mean new activation, if anything all you'll need to do is do a Windows Repair. Basically your just overwriting some files like hal.dll that you need to recognize new procs and all that jazz. That's why some fellas who upgrade their CPU'S still have only one core/same clock as before. This guy above me is right, call Windows and you can activate that sh*t a thousand times, they don't give a f*ck, Vista is out and soon XP will no longer be traced (Like Windows 2000) and millions of unlegit copies will be used everyday...but it will basically be legal. Let's face it, sooner or later we will all have vista on our machines, techs will HAVE TO have vista as all new Dells, and Gateways that grandma's bring into our shops will have vista on it.

I didn't say processor, i said mb and harddrive. you can reacitvate retail XP as many times as you want. there is no restriction in the XP EULA. with Vista you can do that only twice. please read again what i wrote.
