Full Disclosure: Re: Vista Reduced Function mode triggered

["Poof" <poof () fansubber com>]

The issues that the original poster is having don't sound anything like
normal behavior. One of the scenarios expected in Vista would be a Laptop
that's been activated being used in a restricted internet work zone. And if
that laptop has been activated normally (The 1-time activation as provided
with the Windows install.) it shouldn't go to reduced mode. Further, it'll
give a 30 day warning prior to going to reduced mode if it's suddenly
deactivated asking for it to be reactivated. (Say a hardware change/etc.)

In the short, I am unable to repro this. I'm currently running Vista on two
systems; the other system is in a sandbox. (However, was "open" during the
activation process.)

Erm, from what I can see from the requirements, Internet is not required as
it's in the same format as Audio.

Yep, specifies "internet" under requirements. Should specify unrestricted 
internet access if you ask me.
