Because it no longer is your computer. It belongs to MS now. You have a
limited agreement to use it at MS' pleasure.

I hope you weren't one of the folks who complained that "My Computer" was a
bad name... "My Computer", "My Documents"... I'm glad that crap is gone.

And one didn't have a limited agreement with XP? Or 2K? Or NT? Or Win98? Or
Win95? Or Win3.x? or Win386? Or Win286? Or Win1.x?

Yes, one did. It took awhile for MS to realize that "My Computer" might
cause them problems when, in actually, it is NOT your computer as long
as you have Windows on it.

Do you? Can you use it without activating and genuinizing Vista?

Not so sure. When you click on the "I Agree" button on the EULA, you assign
all rights to your computer over to Microsoft. That means they can come
into your home at any time, take your computer and sell it on eBay if they
wish :-)
