It's not meant for resale to the public. In fact, it's illegal to sell it by itself. The license agreement requires the vendor to sell it with a piece of hardware that's essential to the operation of the computer. Otherwise, it is *not* a legal copy.

It will tie itself to the mainboard, and you cannot install it on more than one computer. You can install it on it's intended machine as many times as you want, though. Even if the board quits, you can call Microsoft and explain why you changed the board. They'll manually reactivate it for you.

Yes, it is fine. Same build, same functionality, but, technically, a different license from retail.

Lol, I reverted back to WinXP after hearing a soft, but high-pitched scratching sound from the HD. Win Vista is too hard on my HD!
