Need advice Windows 7...

Hi, I just have a quick question for the people in PC LAND. I am currently using VISTA and I want to install a clean windows 7 OEM to my pc. What happens if my motherboard fails within 1 month after installing windows 7? I have been reading that once your motherboard fails you must buy another copy of windows. I do not have money to throw away. Any info would be GREAT! Thanks!

Also I need some friends on this site so add me if you like...

If the motherboard goes out and you get the exact same thing for a replacement, you will have no issues. However, if you can't get the same motherboard, you will have to contact microsoft and tell them the motherboard crapped out on you and possibly will give you a code to reactivate it. It all depens on the person you talk to at Microsoft.
