Can I install vista on a new computer after it's been activated?

Posted: 05-22-2007, 09:30 PM
If I install vista on my current machine, and then in a year or so build a
new machine (scrapping the old one, not re-selling it w/ vista installed), am
I able to activate the copy of vista on that new machine? I figure microsoft
has to allow this because, it is similar to a situation I had with XP where
my old machine died and I had to throw it on a new one. It worked then (no
complaints from M$) but I'm curious if vista's new anti-piracy thing will be
a problem. Once again, I'm not asking to run it on two machines, just switch
from one machine to another. Thanks!
