It is entirely understandable WHY this happens (causes Vista to need to be
reactivated). It's too bad that people just can't accept the fact and make
that 5 minute phone call. I have done so a few times already. It is
painless.
Actually it's you who mis read my reply. you spoke of the activate over
the phone, stated it goes quickly. I pointed out it can take much longer
as the system doesn't always work as expected, and even when it does, it
doesn't always get what you enter correctly, forcing a retry.
Richard, the overall point you're missing is that such a system
shouldn't even be needed if they people upstairs knew what they were
doing. The entire business aroudn the "activation" nonsense doesn't do a
damn thing to stop piracy, it simply makes things more difficult for the
average joe consumer.
