I despise what Microsoft has become just as much as the next guy, but that's arguably a better experience than some previous versions of Windows. In some previous versions of Windows, you had to activate it within a couple weeks or you couldn't use it at all.

Oh the fun of recovering windows xp to new hardware!

"Sorry you have had the install for too long so it must be activated."

Ok but I need to install new drivers for the network card, can I do that so I can activate.

"No fix, only activate."

Was fine until they turned both internet and phone activation off.
