When did this come up?

I know tons of people who run Windows unactivated. The key difference is there's a watermark. Otherwise, it seems to work fine.

The problem is not activation, it's the login requirement.

Personalization options like wallpaper and color settings are disabled until activation, though I'm sure there are workarounds.
