Hey Mystere, I wrote what I think is poor business planning. For you to have written so much while skipping over the premise for the whole statement kind of nullifies the point of the rest of your response.
"For the life of the machine" means that the license is dependent upon the machine that receives it. When a license is tied to core hardware, changing that core hardware should make the license serial not work on a new installation. It has been my understanding that this is traditionally the case with Windows licenses that are received when Windows comes preinstalled on a new PC.Where did you get the idea that upgrading a component would expire your license?
Beggers can't be choosers... it seems all too many people want to spit in the face of MS for not being generous enough.
Who's begging? Your stance seems more to be that beggars can't be discerning, as you're not willing to analyse and understand exactly what is involved in this offer from MS, and what it means to a person who accepts it. You must not be very responsible with the things that you own.
