I'm one of the people suffering from this issue and have been looking for a solution. Seems I found one when I was browsing the Vista newsgroups in Windows Mail...
According to Doug Hite at Microsoft, he said the following......
Hi Everyone. I finally got an answer. From what I have been told:
The Vista Family Discount (VFD) team has found the problem with the product
keys. Turns out they are not Vista Keys. The VFD team is working on a fix
and will email out new keys to everyone with in 4-5 days.
If your key does not work; odds are its one of the bad ones. If you do not
hear back from the VFD team with a new key next week; I would send them an
email or call:
I hardly ever go out myself. I was talking to people on IRC while reading Slashdot and Bink.nu and came across Firefox while doing my every 2 day check to see if any new version of my software is released.
I was also finishing my psychology take-home final.
I am a Microsoft Windows fanboy... but I use Firefox.
I may not be a GEEK... but compared to those my age (18), I certainly would seem like one.
Firefox 1.0.4 was posted sometime between 11 and 11:30PM last night EST. I got it about 11:40:D (Yes, geek alert)
That aside, with all of these newfound vulnerabilities popping up so often, could Firefox become (later down the line) the new Internet Explorer? May seem highly unlikely now.. but as the New York Lottery says...
"Hey, you never know."

I hope this helps! Thanks and sorry for any issues... -Doug I hope they stick to this
...maybe they'll add it as yet another "NEW" feature into Vista SP1.
If anything, the Catholic church are the TRUE predators.
