Re: Vista Activation

Doing this is still a pain. Windows XP allowed you to do clean
installs on you system several times beforte you had to call. All I
had to do was change one piece of hardware and I had 2 days to
activate. I had to call and it costs me 40 cents per minute as they
would not work with Skype, and I entered the new activation code.
Shortly thereafter the hard drives started to fail! I bought new hard
drives, did a clean install and I now have 28 days left to activate. I
am NOT looking forward to calling them. This feels too much like big
brother is not just watching everything you do but wants to control
you.
