It's like the Monty python skit about stringetts..

The folks over at MS are nuts. I've been poking this thing with a stick and
it's real nasty.. anyway the first signs of reduced functionality are
solitaire, network properties, and control panel failing to start up, you
get the magic donut and then nothing..

I'm running a second test to see what goes next but it will take another 24
hours to get past where I was. It also may be different, since MS has built
in the capability to determine most recently used over time, it may shut
different things down depending on what gets used and how often it gets
used. I'd need someone else running vista to disable the software license
service to see if their order of RF is the same as mine. (bob, you game?)
