sam - "So if you don't want to activate your legal copy of Vista, this is the hack for you. Why you wouldn't want to activate? No idea."
Because of Microsoft's crazy restrictions on activation. hardware upgrades and portability.
If I activate and then significantly change my machine, I need to re-activate. If I wipe my system and rebuild, I need to re-activate. If I buy a new machine and want to transfer my license, I need to re-activate.
MS has publicly stated that they will allow far fewer of these re-activations than in the past. Of course they won't state what the number is. I don't support piracy, but I don't want to have to fight with MS or be forced to buy a new copy of my OS just because I tinkered with my machine more than they would like.
