Illegal Vista OS to become crippled after 30 days

Unlike previous Windows OS,Vista is loaded with inbuilt abilities to stop piracy to some extent!!
HAHAHA...waiting when somebody hacks this feature itself and MS starts distributing patches every month!!!hehe
Anyway read the full article here

In summary the main features are:

• Reduced Functionality Mode: this allows minimal use of the OS until it is validated. Microsoft has not disclosed full technical details, but they have indicated that the web browser (presumably IE) will work for about an hour before interrupting the session and forcing you to log off. Additional limitations are described below.
• Buy a key online: Go online, buy a new key, and you're done.
• Phone in for activation: instructions on how to activate over the phone rather than the Internet. (i really dont know who uses this feature now!!)
  
• Enter your key : Yada yada yada!!!

In short, unless you input a legit key, or purchase one after 30 days of using the Operative System it will "lock down" it's best functionalities.

However, even if your key is identified as legit, Microsoft will continue to monitor your machine permanently, and if your key becomes invalid, or your system is identified as illegal you will receive a warning and it will lock down in 30 days from there onward.

Microsoft knows that this won't stop piracy completely, but at least they have a more realistic goal this time.

The company says it is interested in continuing to build tools that make it difficult and inconvenience to be a pirate.
