The product deactivation feature is a no-go for me.   No matter how good
any other part of Vista is, the ability for the setting of a random bit on
a Microsoft server to prevent me from using an operating system that I have
purchased is unacceptable me.  If I allowed Microsoft such a level of
proven-indiscriminate discretion over whether my computers would function,
I would be abdicating my responsibility to my company.
