It's a bit of a catch-22 when the old motherboard no longer boots - these days I guess one could run the system in a virtual machine, but it's all a bit cumbersome.
It's just another one of those things that most people don't know about M$ that they don't like when it happens to them. As a company, they definately aren't customer focused. They basically told me that I wasn't allowed to reinstall Windows for customers because the customer was required to click that they agree to the license. That's BS because they clicked it the first time when they got the machine. What a load. Reactivating a system can also be a huge pain. Sometimes you have to call a toll free number and deal with someone whose english isn't very good and they ask you several times how many machines this copy is installed on. Talk about trust. Crap like Windows Genuine Advantage only makes legitimate customers look like theives. I've ran into several occasions where a display model wouldn't activate because someone wrote down the product key and used it for themselves. Nice.
