That's been my guess as well. Now the question: Retail or OEM? (assuming same limitations as Vista) OEM: can only install into ONE system (with limited upgrades) Retail: Can 'transfer' / upgrade unlimited number of time. I'll probably get retail to avoid future headaches. Assuming its released for the holiday season, I will probably be looking at some major upgrade before spring. (probably GPU again) lets see what the NV300 does in the real world.

Re: Windows 7 to ship in time for the holiday season, says Microsoft
I installed my Vista OEM on two motherboards with no problems, but I had to reinstall one of them and it wouldn't activate for the third time. I could have called Microsoft but I ended getting a license from work (we recently got the MSDN subscription)
