said by CylonRed :Real questions is - parts BREAK and it is out of your control. Is MS assuming you will never have a need to replace a video card that went bad or a hard drive - even a CPU or ram that went bad? If they use the hardware profile like with XP - what can you change without using up all of your reinstalls?? This this comes to fruition it is a mere money grab and nothing. They will penalize those folks who need to replace hardware because of failure or to get something newer... I am sure there is going to be some tolerance to the rule, it just surprises me that people people have nothing better to do but blow it all to you know what... s$%t!
Vista is not even retail yet so worry about it when does come out in the stores. But like I said already there will be tolerance the rule as Microsoft knows very well that if you buy a machine where the hardware breaks with time, even brand name machines break down, they will have to allow Vista to operate. However there is bound to away for Microsoft to detect if you change your motherboard with a new different brand one which they may choose not to support it which would force you to buy a new version of Vista.
So just wait and see.
This whole whining reminds me of when the were going to pass the helmet law in Ontario for motorcyclist. Bikers were whining a lot, once they passed the law they found a loop hole as the law didn't say were you had to wear your helmet.  They have since then fixed that but people don't whine about it anymore and it's become apart of life.
