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.
