The issues that the original poster is having don't sound anything like normal behavior. One of the scenarios expected in Vista would be a Laptop that's been activated being used in a restricted internet work zone. And if that laptop has been activated normally (The 1-time activation as provided with the Windows install.) it shouldn't go to reduced mode. Further, it'll give a 30 day warning prior to going to reduced mode if it's suddenly deactivated asking for it to be reactivated. (Say a hardware change/etc.) In the short, I am unable to repro this. I'm currently running Vista on two systems; the other system is in a sandbox. (However, was "open" during the activation process.) Erm, from what I can see from the requirements, Internet is not required as it's in the same format as Audio.
The issue is not: How Microsoft treats those whose boxes Microsoft has Tojaned. The issue is: Microsoft should not be root on my computer. And no EULA can take away root from me and grant root to Microsoft on any computer I own. oo--JS.

Should specify unrestricted internet access if you ask me. Geo. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
