I haven't thought of trying windows 7 through bootcamp on my Mac. Are you sure I won't have to activate it?
I don't want to run out of activations when I do get my PC.

Though I've never did used a Mac, or ran bootcamp, I'm pretty sure you still have to activate Windows once you install it. I really can't see why this wouldn't be the case..

Nope. During installation you can choose to skip the part about writing the activation code and proceed with install. DO NOT write any activation code and act as evasively as possible.

Then you have 30 days of trial where everything will work, but in System panel (where it says the activation code) will have the countdown with the time you have left before it locks down and deactivates updates and other stuff (and murders your patience with incessant popups). You can also "rearm" this countdown up to two times legally. Here explains how.

Nope?

Owing to the fact that I used "once you install it", it still needs to be activated, as you pointed out. That even if you "ream the countdown up", you'll still have to activate it, which is what I said.

semantics I suppose, but ok
