    Firstly, they don't do anything to 'the computer'. If you have an unlicensed copy of Vista, they just disable Vista, meaning you can't run it any more. You can still reinstall another operating system (XP etc) and the computer will be fine. Secondly, Microsoft will do nothing if you have an unlicensed copy of Office 2007. You have a limited number of times that you can launch it without a valid license - after that it just won't launch. My recommendation; either buy a legal copy, or use OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org - it's free.
