The issues that the original poster is having don't sound anything like
normal behavior. One of the scenarios expected in Vista would be a Laptop
that's been activated being used in a restricted internet work zone. And if
that laptop has been activated normally (The 1-time activation as provided
with the Windows install.) it shouldn't go to reduced mode. Further, it'll
give a 30 day warning prior to going to reduced mode if it's suddenly
deactivated asking for it to be reactivated. (Say a hardware change/etc.)
In the short, I am unable to repro this. I'm currently running Vista on two
systems; the other system is in a sandbox. (However, was "open" during the
activation process.)
Erm, from what I can see from the requirements, Internet is not required as
it's in the same format as Audio.
The issue is not: How Microsoft treats those whose boxes Microsoft has
Tojaned.
The issue is: Microsoft should not be root on my computer.
And no EULA can take away root from me and grant root to
Microsoft on any computer I own.
oo--JS.

anything in vista's agreement in legalish that could be translated into
'you agree that you feed your software internet' ?

Yep, specifies "internet" under requirements. Should specify unrestricted
internet access if you ask me.
