Not incapable, unimportant to my point that tying Windows license to the =
hardware is proof that Microsoft is just as draconian.

    Motherboard, case, what's the difference, pick which you want to =
call the computer. The point is if I buy software I expect to be allowed =
to run that software on one computer, if my old computer dies I expect = to
be able to replace the hardware and run the same software on one =
computer.=20

    Change that model, force me to buy new software every time I buy a =
new computer, an suddenly it gets a lot easier to move to another =
platform like Mac or Linux.

         I doubt it was tied to that individual motherboard or even that =
type of motherboard.

         BTW, are we all to be pretending that the case is the computer =
and the motherboard an accessory instead of the reality.
