Top 5 reasons why your customers should never get a non-genuine version of Windows Vista:

1. Constant desktop reminders will notify your customers they have installed non-genuine Windows Vista software.
2. Great new features such as Windows Aero and Windows ReadyBoost are disabled.
3. Non-security updates and downloads are denied, such as new releases of Windows Media Player and Windows Internet Explorer® 7.
4. Information stored on the PC may be exposed to on-going risks from spyware, malware, and viruses.
5. If Windows Vista is not activated with a genuine product key, the system will be put into reduced functionality which means:
   • No desktop
   • No start menu or task bar
   • Windows Vista functionality is limited to the default web browser for 1 hour periods
