I think those that use this method are going to get a surprise when they get prompted to put in the cd for the accredited previous version of windows at some point in the future. Microsoft will force people to re-validate quietly through a forced critical update system. The same why they forced some people to update to ie7 recently.

This might actually be a Microsoft method of getting people to update to Vista.

How many people would not purchase Vista if they were locked into a machine running it for 30-90days? Once you install Vista and use it for that long - you are committed.
