Activation triggering sensitivity with SP1

We have seen during last year many complaints about Vista asking for
reactivation after just updating a hard disk driver.
Does anybody know whether this sensitivity to hardware (or driver) changes
has been eased with SP1 or not?
RFM (Reduced Functionality Mode) is now "lighter" than the pre-SP1 era and I
was wondering whether something similar happens with the reactivation
triggering level.
Just being curious on a cloudy Thursday morning.

Re: Activation triggering sensitivity with SP1

I have not seen any reports of reactivation being required after installing
SP1.

Colin,
That was not my point.
What I mean is, after applying SP1, will Vista still be so "picky" about
minor changes of new hardware and/or new drivers (post-SP1)?

Re: Activation triggering sensitivity with SP1

I didn't see any mention in the release notes so I don't know how we will
know except by giving it time.

RE: Activation triggering sensitivity with SP1

Hi Carlos:
For some reason my reply was left off my post. I am running Vista
Ultimate 64 bit with SP1 and just installed a PCIE video card to replace
onboard graphics and a 5th hard drive and Vista didn't seem to mind the
update. My Windows Experience Rating went up to 5.5 and I didn't even have
to talk to someone in Asia to get it done! WHOOPIE!
