I am finally setting up a real vista install. Anyhow, I have a few questions:
1.) What can I do to configure WGA? I have a legit copy from my school (yea MSAA) but I don't think is an excuse to stand for BS. Removing it entirely would be best, but are there executables I can just deny access to the internet via a software firewall (Zone Alarm)?
2.) From the wikipedia article (or article family, I am not sure exactly where I read it), it mentions Microsoft having the ability to disable hardware remotely. I do not want any of this. It is my damn computer.
3.) Any other major tips? I found drivers for all my hardware without much issue, but have not used it enough to determine if they live up to the poor expectations I have read about.
