I've frequently upgraded and changed parts in my PCs over the past few years an only once has Windows refused to activate. It was fixed with a 15 minute phone call to Microsoft. I find it hard to believe this is a serious issue unless you're reinstalling or changing parts every week or something.
Edit: And by upgrading parts I mean things as big as upgrading the CPU and/or motherboard.

- chaostheory 17y agowhy should I have to call MS for permission to upgrade my PC? It's the principle. Besides it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Crashes and freezing were fine when I was a kid, and Windows was primarily used for video games. Once I grew up and started using it for work, that was no longer acceptable.
- pedalpete 17y agoI completely agree with you on this, though I'm still a big fan of Microsoft over Apple. Any company that treats their customers as criminals (or assumes they are stealing) doesn't deserve and clearly appreciate their customers.
- chaostheory 16y agoMS does the same thing. They started that practice before Apple which I said in my above post =)
