wgadown Vista SP1 Kills Kill Switch

We anxiously await Vista’s SP1 due out in January to rid us of the pain-in-the-neck Kill Switch that some diabolical MS engineer came up with.

While Vista will still haunt you with messages, it will no longer disable your OS. Microsoft plans to roll back WGA to where it might nag you, but will not block access to any installed programs or Windows features.
