Anyone out there under volume licensing looked over Vista's new activation scheme? It looks like Key Management Service (KMS) will be the way to go when it is released next year.
What I dont see is how easy or hard it will be to re image a machine and not "lose" that activation. I'm ok with all machines having to check in to stay operating but when I replace hardware or just image a messed up OS I am afraid it will be a phone call. I can't find in the documentation how these things are handled. Here is a link to the Vista site for those who are interested. If anyone has insight on how this will work in practice please share. Thanks all!
