thats the difference between OEM and retail. retail can be transfered to another computer in time (but there is a limit as to how many times you can do this too from what i understand) |
I think it's motherboard, from what I read. That's annoying - I do like vista myself, i wish MS would do away with shit like that. Either way, I wonder if you can phone MS support about installing it on a system with a new motherboard and get them to let you haha.
