So IOW when you buy a new computer with that OS and start installing
everything that was on the old machine onto the new one so you can get
back to where you were with the old machine and can get back to work
as usual, you get screwed because you've made too many changes?
Sheesh . . .
That's EXACTLY what happens - if you make the changes *after* Windows
validates itself with Redmond. If you have a better soundcard and a
firewire card and some extra disks you bring over from the old machine,
and maybe you add a bit of memory, the Microsoft database in Washington
thinks you've pirated the Windows onto a different machine. You can
delay the OS from "activating" or submitting its
configuration/registration to MS for a couple of weeks, but after that
you're in trouble. In this regard, the new Palladium type stuff should
actually improve things, because they can tie the OS to a specific
computer, rather than a specific configuration.
