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

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.
