Simple answer to the Majority of arguments, is if you use it illegally - don't complain if MS "disable" some of the features and give you the "Grace Period" to activate a legal (or most likely version with a newer crack in this case).
At the end of the day, the software is Licensed to the End Users, hence the name End User License Agreement not End User Software Usage Agreement for example - MS are well within their rights to "disable" some features if a pirated version of their software is detected.
And if you really want to use Vista, and "can't afford it", "don't want to buy it" or "just want to use it illegally for no apparent valid reason"... Download the KMS Server, Download a working Business RTM/Enterprise Vista ISO, and install it on a computer without internet access... or just disable windows updates... either that or look through each one manually and check it won't "disable" Microsoft's "features".
As for the Legal Users, yes it is a pain having to reactivate occasionally... but you have to live with it, if you want to use Microsoft's Software Legitimately.
Your comments on this are of course welcome ;)
