Is this BS or what?

Fucking MS! Always got to make a buck don't they. This will only cause more piracy and or more money in MS's pockets.

I have known about this for awhile... There is a simple way to get around it... every replacement is defective, period. It does not function the way you want it too anymore...

If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created and the license of new operating system software is required.

Everything is defective.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

This is why people should be offended by Microsoft... the dorks that only pirate their software don't realize that they suck.

I recently replaced a motherboard. I had to call to activate windows because it wouldn't take the number that the PC already had. I just explained to the rep that I just replaced the motherboard (HP PC) and he activated it for me with no problems. Maybe I just got lucky.
