If you still have doubts about Vista SP1, now we give you a good reason (?) to upgrade. Microsoft's notorious but effective WGA mechanism has been trying every means to interfere with pirated users since XP, and in Vista, it becomes even more extreme, directly disabling most of the system functions. However, in the upcoming SP1, Microsoft will remove this feature itself, that is, restoring to the annoying dialog box mode of the XP era. Microsoft's explanation for this self-disabling move is "a decision based on consumer opinion surveys." We guess the last WGA server outage must have angered quite a few people... But we still urge everyone: piracy is not good, don't use pirated software!
