My mistake, here is the source URL, I accidentally linked to a previous Freep post. Here is the correct URL for the slashdot entry:

My apologies for the mistake.
Just the loser crowd
emotionally caught up
in hating Bill Gates.
They're now pretending
that Microsoft invented
activation keys.
Never mind many
minicomputers used it.
Also never mind
great PC software
has used it for years. One time
the shuttle [!] called down
to Wolfram Research.
A PC crashed in orbit
and they needed to
reactivate their
copy of Mathematica.
Microsoft's okay.
Don't you just enter 666 when prompted ?
you use Vista as a Demo without an activation key the use the rearm dailytech website and kedz has info on how to do this, there are other ways to do it better that I will not talk about here.
