I don't want "might" to be the issue since when I read the license agreement
it appears that a MOBO could be considered as a System replacement Since
after running RC2 for several months on my dual boot system I have decided
not to upgrade the system to Vista since I can find no compelling reason to
at this time. So in the future when I get a new dual core 64 bit MOBO I
will then get the 64 bit OEM version.
I have a new laptop and will upgrade it when my Vista Premium Espress Update
arrives in the near future.
