With W7, you can change the MAC address and HD UUID (the UUID of the virtual hard drive file) and the CPU ID (boot the VM on a different computer, or replace your CPU) without triggering the reactivation. I have not looked at other options, like I/O APIC, PAE, SMP and all that. I don't have Hardware-V hardware, so I can't test those settings.

I used one some time ago. Windows xp kept requesting re-activation once in a while without any significant hardware changes(perhaps due to mac changes associated with memory changes and the voting system, as sugested by a previous post). Didnt get the react request again, and the program distributers claim its not illegal.
What about the theory that Mr. Bill hacks into peoples computers and turns on their cameras to check if its someone else and due to age related memory problems fails to recognize you and activates the re-act system just in case to avoid unprofitable missuse of his masterpiece?
