You can't reinstall a factory installed Vista copy on a new motherboard. If you try to reactivate, you will have to pay for the activation. You can only uninstall and reinstall on a new mobo if you purchased the OS seperately. The preinstalled OS is linked to your mobo.
That is the way people get ripped off when they buy a manufacturer's PC. Good for you for getting away from that. It is a good price up front when you buy one, but it's a rip off when you compare how easy it is to upgrade home-built computers to your personal specs.
