This is real smart.
Why would you post this on a microsoft server?
Post it on a forum where you can remain anonymous at least if you're going to pirate the OS.
Also why would you phone them every couple days?
There's no reason you should be reinstalling the OS every couple days.

Shane Nokes had a false knee jerk reaction and wrote:

No, Microsoft is really stupid.

To let everyone know, of course.

Read the OP's post. He has a paid for, legit copy of Vista.

Not "you", Vista. Reread the OP's post.

There's no reason why the OP shouldn't be allowed to reinstall the OS as many times and as frequently as his little heart desires, although the OP made no mention of reinstalling the OS.
Once again, MS' ineffective "anti piracy" programs only inconvenience paying customers and DO NOTHING to stop the real pirates.

He/She is not pirating according to the post. They are using a legit version and just want to bypass (re)activation everytime it is reinstalled.
Personally, I would concentrate my efforts towards resolving whatever hardware/software problem is causing the OS to fail and require reinstallation rather than continually treating the symptoms of the failure. It's like putting new bandaids on a deep cut rather than getting stitches to close the wound.

Not true. Read the post again.

Um, the OP doesn't mention reinstalling once.

At least from what he says, it's apparent he's having some activation issues, like several other people around here. He calls MS every once in a while to reactivate... Although it does look like he might pirate it :-/

I don't think he wants to use it illegally. I think he just simply wants to use it without having to constantly call Microsoft and ask for permission.

Look at the subject line of the original message. Ask yourself why would Microsoft constantly ask for permission?
hmmmmm ?

Most likely because their WGA is flawed and will trigger re-activation if you just push the power button of your computer the wrong way?
This isn't the posters first problem with Vista's WGA so I don't see it as a surprise that he would turn to using a crack. Matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more people do it.

Hello,
I seem to recall durring the beta that a certain disk driver caused Windows to want to reactivate all the time.
You might see if any updated drivers are available for your computer from your computer manufacturer's website and Windows Update and see if that helps.

Hi iqon,
There is a known issue with driver updates that can cause a need for reactivation. I don't know of any fixes to this yet, and personally have disabled driver updates to keep this from happening on my systems.

You may want to reread the threads more fully before making any further erroneous assumptions. I was correcting someone that accused him of piracy, not accusing him. In fact, I think you'd find it tough to find any response by me that accuses anyone of using pirated software. I could care less about it, I'm more concerned with helping resolve issues than with making accusations.

I did read his post.
He did not use proper punctuation.
Here's what he posted: "I never thought ad say this but is there a crack to bye pass the activation on vista can not keep phoning ms every couple of days just to keep my box running smoothly"
Here's what I make of that: I never thought I'd ask this, but is there a crack to bypass the activation on Vista? I cannot keep phoning MS every couple days just to keep my box running smoothly."
