Vista SP1 Beta

Installed the long awaited Vista SP1 Beta hoping to see some performance
improvements, and instead Vista now wants a new product key as it says my old
one is in use (yup, still using it myself).

Probably should shy away from Betas, but didn't expect it to fail like this.
Does SP1 require a new product key, and did I miss something in the
installation where perhaps it gave me a new one?

Hello Devo,

Other folks may have additional ideas for you; hope this helps a bit, take
a look at this
