OK, so you've been "test driving" WIndows 7. For a while now. Since it was released to retail. Permanently.
Well, you knew the boys at Redmond were not going to stand for that much longer. So, be prepared for the start of the war between M$ and everyone else as the son of Genuine Activation, now known as WAT, comes rolling through to check things out. They say it will be "optionally" but we will see how long that lasts.
Personally, this is the first Windows since WFW 3.11 and WIndows 98SE that I am willing to pay for. The choice is yours though so be forearmed as you are now forewarned.
Peace.

Microsoft will continue to fight this losing war. Hom much resources do you think they are consuming? Imagine if they put those resources into optimizing code, making windows faster, more responsive, smaller, and fixing some of the legacy code that they just can't seem to get rid of.
There are some serious alternatives, its time to give them a try.
