Invalid PID

[Guest]

In spite of being a legitimate VISTA Ultimate user, the PID on my
full-version Ultimate has been invalidated by Microsoft.
This prevents me from taking advantage of the complimentary 90-day technical
support I'm entitled to.
Furthermore, the online WGA validation tool appears to have been temporarily
pulled from the MS site.
Evn though I know it's useless for me to ask since the end-user is the
lowest member of the MS caste system,
what in Sam Hill is going on with VISTA Activation and Validation??????
