Windows Although it is still working to finish the code for Windows Vista, Microsoft has reached a decision on which versions of the operating system to offer. Microsoft has settled on six versions, including an Ultimate edition that will combine the best of the company's corporate and consumer features. The company is aiming to have all of the versions ready for launch in the second half of next year.

This is if you use an OEM copy of Windows and ONLY if you replace the motherboard not due to any problems.
If the motherboard is defective than this is out the window. Also if you buy a boxed copy and not an OEM copy this also does not apply.

This is no different than it's always been.

You mean people actually buy boxed copies of Windows
I thought they buy OEM copies or borrow their mates.
