Posting your product key is right in the team picture of "Dumb Things
To Do Online" with posting your real address, your real phone number
and your Social Security number.

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.

6. Then visit: http://www.microsoft.com/Genuine/ and click on "Validate Windows".

The best way to dispense with the crap and issues of activation is to
install one of the Linux distros. Those who use Linux do not have to
put up with that nonsense.
