Microsoft, Windows Vista abolished restriction on OS transfer

It seems that it was finally withdrawn from the Windows Vista OS transfer restriction provision which was fiercely repulsed including original PC users, and it is gone. What was the limitation in the first place, "When the PC that installed Windows is destroyed, it is only once to install the OS in it on another computer."

Specifically, what happens is that if you exchange your motherboard with your own PC, the PC itself is recognized as a different PC despite being the same, and you will need to purchase a new license more ... It will be a mess.

It is a reasonable decision, probably it will install the new OS at the very beginning. If you turn your own PC user to the enemy, only disadvantages will increase.
