Now thats bullshit. I've changed out 3 motherboards with my XP install, one because a mobo popped the capacators and shorted out the whole system. Now if that happens, I have to buy a new license? That's sure to piss off more than a few people who build their own systems.

I hate to rain on your parade, but this only applies to Microsoft OEM licence on your old computer.

They dont even cite a source for this statement. For all we know its just another MS hating bandwagon that everyone is blindly jumping on. This statement sounds too stupid to really have come from microsoft. If it has then thats fine...anyone who types up a story like that should cite a source as proof. Yet they offer none.
