This is the wording from an actual Burma Shave sign:
Substitutes can
Let you down
Faster than
A strapless gown
Buy Burma Shave
That one lends it self nicely WGA
Substitutes can
Let you down
Faster than
A strapless gown
Buy Genuine Windows

Maybe, maybe not. 
Microsoft: Vista's 'Black Screen of Death' Is a Hoax
said by wired.com :
Microsoft was quick to debunk this e-mail warning of a Black Screen of Death. A Microsoft representative told Wired News "the reporter received inaccurate information," and that the company has not rolled out any updates to Windows Vista's anti-piracy platform.
I couldn't resist pirating the words posted by [smitty_one_each] on slashdot and putting them into my (also pirated) Burma Shave sign generator. Somehow the words seem apropos.

"Microsoft has just turned on Reduced Functionality mode, worldwide, and sent a letter to OEMs explaining the consequences of Vista piracy. These include a black screen after 1 hour of browsing, no start menu or task bar, and no desktop. Using fear as a motivator, the email warns resellers to 'make sure your customers always get genuine Windows Vista preinstalled.'"
