Vista Activation

With BIOS locking the OS will not fall back on activation. Activation is
not there. If an install from your cd activated then it was not BIOS locked
to the original machine either.

Just about everything. I'm not sure if MS has yet to reveal what,
exactly, Vista activation checks.

Of course, as cracked versions don't need activation, this little
feature will only inconvenience paying customers and do absolutely
nothing to stop piracy. To top it off, if Vista thinks you've changed
too much, there's a kill switch which will render you PC useless except
for going on line to buy a "genuine" copy of Vista and allow you to go
into My Documents to recover your data. After an hour, the PC will
freeze up and you'll need to reboot to get another hour. Cute, isn't it?
