    I originally had Windows XP come on my laptop, and I got the upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I don't like how this went, and I want to do a clean install, using that loophole that's flying around the net. Will this mess up my activation? I had already activated Vista under my current installation and I'd hate to run into activation/registration issues when I reinstall.

    Any help? Thanks
