| Vista Home Premium x64 | Vista and replaceing a motherboard of similar type. Hey Guys, I am changing my motherboard from ASUS P5Q deluxe to the ASUS Maximus II board. Will i have to re-activate my Vista even though the two boards are both based on the P45 chipset and similar design. Could I get pull it off or will Vista still read it as a new motherboard and have to go through all the re-activation grief with Microsoft? Thanks in advance. |

Good to see some of the better MVPs still come around. I like your honest observations about XP, Vista and 7 posted on your blog. I'm using Windows 7, I like it. Take care, Michael |
