If you don't activate your copy of Vista within the alloted time or if at any time your copy of Vista decides that it is not a legitimate copy the "Windows Genuine Advantage" operations in Vista will switch Vista into a "Reduced Functionality Mode". That is to say Vista will no longer do anything you want it to do.
