New Motherboard vs Vista Activation
Hi,

I'm running my PC with windows vista and I want to replace my mobo, however I know from my experience with XP that doing this will probably force me to reactivate the OS. I do not want to do this since I have already reactivated it a couple of times after having reformatted my hard drives and I spend 45 mins on the phone to Microsoft.

Is there anyway to replace the mobo without reactivating Vista?
