Does this Vista have activation rubbish, ive never had to activate windows so dont know much about it but heard alot of ppl complaining, eg if u activate then change your harddrive you can't install windows again?!! Win2k and XP have been OEM versions which their was no need to activate. But when i buy Vista it will be a retail, so im expecting the worse.

Have they dropped this activation with Vista?
