This is so you don't feel left out when everyone is fighting authentication issues with XP and Vista.

Would someone take a look at that source code and see if it really would disable your system after 30 days?

I hope it does.

After the system is disabled the user should see a message that says something like, "Please don't install any OS on this computer except Windows. You and Bill deserve each other."

The cleanup procedure truly looks serious....

I think it may very well do EXACTLY what it says! I like it! Now I can tell everyone we have practically ALL the features of windows.

How to log in to enter the license key when logins are disabled is left as an exercise for the reader.

That is terrific
