You are prompted to activate Windows Vista after you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947519/en-us


You can reset your Windows Vista activation by performing the following:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4

2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Select your Country.

4. Follow the instructions for phone activation (no charge).

5. Once completed, restart your computer.

You know Alias, at this rate you are going to give Ubuntu a bad name.
Your constant reminders are a bit like the annoying 'nag screens' that
appear every time you use freeware - which tries to sell you the 'Pro
version'. Give it a rest.

I think it's Frank-speak for "your butt too". You know our Frank, if he
isn't obsessing about sh??t and piss, he's obsessing on "butts", male ones.
