I remember hearing somewhere that Windows Vista will only be allowed to be installed once on a particular machine setup (component-wise). And upgrading too much of the underlying components will result in the owner having to buy another copy of vista (e.g. their serial key will be dead).
Is this true?
Also, I heard that the EULA had changed in recent versions of Windows XP to the same affect, that its a once per hardware configuration install.
Older copies of Windows XP didn't used to like it if the underlying hardware had changed too much, but would still let you reinstall and use ur license key again.
I'm consiering buying Windows XP Pro at the moment (as I currently have an old XP Home), but am not sure whether to because of this. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, are the Windows XP Pro's on sale at Scan the older or the new limited versions?
