Windows Vista and registration???

[Dandred]

Been hearing that if you buy windows Vista you will only be able to install it one one machine at a time like XP but in addition you will only be able to use the registation twice???

How will this effect people upgrading MB's and Processor's?????

Will people have to buy a new copy if they upgrade certain parts twice??

"The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the "licensed device," reads the license for Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, and Business. In other words, once a retail copy of Vista is installed on a PC, it can be moved to another system only once."

I'm not worried.

I just thought others who do change and upgrade their rigs ofter this would be a problem? Or won't it?

It seems to me if you change your MB or processor twice you will have to buy a new copy of vista....... is this correct or am I mistaken?
