| So I'm sitting here for about 3 hours then all of a sudden Windows greys out.
| A message comes up and says, I kid you not 'You have changed hardware: you
| will need to purchase a new license'. Purchase a new license of Vista...
| for upgrading my video card?

| If this story really holds true it is a remarkable one. Why on earth
| would Windows Vista revoke the activation - this would be the main
| questions that would have to be answered.
|
| This pretty looks like a way for Microsoft to revoke the activation
| on systems that run known pirated keys or install software that
| would probably try to interfere with Windows Vista core processes.
