Responding to the myriad complaints over ambiguities and outright uncool (that's a technical term) licensing terms, Microsoft has revised the Vista retail license to remove some of the most major causes of complaint. A previous version of the Windows Vista retail license restricted the number of times you may transfer Vista from one device to another. The license read: "The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the 'licensed device'." The new license has removed this language relating to device transfers.

Bloody finally! How could they expect people to buy their software, get a better pc/upgrade it, and then be told "you can't install this any more, naughty you!"
Now to find out more about the Ultimate terms sneakily mentioned as that's the one I'm getting!
