Buying OEM versions of Windows Vista: the facts

@ 2007/02/02
Want to spare a few $/€ and get the OEM? Here's what you need to know:

"OEM software is also tied to the motherboard it is first installed on. Unlike the retail versions of Windows which can be transferred to a new computer, OEM versions are not transferable. What about upgrading hardware? Microsoft says that anything is fair game, except the motherboard. Replacing the motherboard in a computer results in a 'new personal computer,' which the company considers to be synonymous with a transfer. It's not permitted with an OEM edition of Windows.
