I recently made some major changes to one of my desktops. I upgraded the motherboard, the cpu, and the video card. As well, I had an additional hard drive added and took out the old sound and fax cards. I fully expected to have to phone MS to activate Windows and that that would turn out to be a fruitless endeavour. However, to my great surprise, nothing of the sort was necessary. I'm happy about that but it left me wondering, just what does one have to do to get Mr. Bill on one's case? Is MS that worried about driving customers to Apple or Ubuntu or is it mostly trying to maintain the pool of potential Windows 7 customers?
