Using a little known feature of Windows Vista, users of the retail versions
of Vista can put off activation for 120 days, at least according to PC
World:

Not that it really matters- I believe my first post on this was right after the RTM on
November 8. However, the earliest post I could find in my sent folder, was made
on 12/23/2006 at 9:51 AM in a thread titled "Vista Enterprise Key".
