Have Microsoft released any information on the restrictions of the OEM license for Windows 7 regarding replacing components? I think the Vista method was that you had to call them up to reactivate after changing any major components, and a mobo change meant you needed a new licence all together?
 
Is my understanding of Vista OEM correct? Its tied to your mobo, but changing any other major component will mean having to call up someone at MS and tell them you replaced a failed <enter component here> to get it reactivated?
 
Student offer of Professional OEM for £30 vastly outweighs the possible inconvenience of having to make a phone call to reactivate.

My IP35 is prob going to last me a year or 2 yet aswell, so makes sence.
