First off - This is nothing to do with carrying out software piracy. Being a developer myself, I am against it, always advising my clients to buy genuine. It is not my intent to break the forum rules, and I totally understand if the moderators kill this thread. But I do genuinely have a question about Vista and illegal software.
I'm about to build a new PC for someone, who has a copy of office and I know for a fact that it’s not genuine. Now I can't stop them installing it after they've taken delivery of the PC, in the same way a car manufacturer can't stop you drink driving, but I do have a question with regards to Vista and illegal software.
I've vaguely remember reading something about Vista restricting the functionality of illegal software, but was this purely in relation to illegal copies of Vista, or everything Microsoft?
