Craig, this would be worth raising a Feature Request bug to have the modifications tested and then included in the base packages.

Well first I need to get it working Very Happy.

My sudden epiphany didn't amount to anything, either. But I have one more hunch.

I was not aware of that option, is this official MS policy?

OEM rules changed with vista.  You could buy an OEM disk without purchasing hardware, but as soon as it is installed and activated on a piece of hardware, it is linked to that hardware and cannot legally be wiped and installed somewhere else.  The trick, therefore, is to take advantage of the time MS allows us to use the product without activation - 60 days I believe.

Please do not post code changes (especially to the core) in the forums, instead open a bug for it or in this case attach it to the relevant bug: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3666

If you would have looked there, you would have seen that a suggestion is already attached to that bug in the forum of a patch.
