I'd like to point you to these entries

http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000361.php (about the guy that deleted home folders)

http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000101.php (has a bunch of pointers on what developers can do to make it harder to crack their code).

And the number on thing to prevent serial number generation: Never include the source code of the serial number generator, along with comments on how to use it in a header included with a framework inside your project (yes, someone did this once).

2) Make the life of hackers a living hell, but NEVER using destructive ways to do that. Nice stuff is coding everything related to the registering in pure C code, using lots of static inline functions (to make the disassemble harder), have a way to remotely disable stolen serial numbers, etc, even encrypting the machine code!

NEVER, and I mean NEVER do the file-erasing stuff. Besides being illegal, you will be hated by the user community, and you will go out of business quickly. Also, if you live in USA, I wouldn't be surprised if you were killed by some crazy guy after you trashed all his stuff (sorry you american guys, but this kind of stuff is way more common there than in Europe!). Anyway, I know some european guys that probably would catch a plane to travel your country and hit you hard! ;-)
