Vista - Windows Activation

I just took a stick of ram out of my pc to work on another. I get this message from Vista stating that Hardware changes have been dected and now I have to reactive Windows. Anyone know why this is happening. I am not paying Microsoft for their tech help when this was thier screw up to begin with. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

Reactivation is for free, either if you do it via internet or telephone.

Reactivating shouldn't cost you anything.

All you need do is activate by telephone. You don' have to pay Microsoft anything; all that Vista is saying is you've changed hardware now reactivate; I certainly is no major issue.

And cygwin terminal emulations suck.
