Vista restrictions on OS moves

Wow, if these guys are right, you can only move Microsoft Vista to a different machine once. People who build an rebuild their machine would be screwed if this is the case.

I'll wait till the dust settles, but it sounds worse and worse each week I hear something new about Vista.

Word has it that the next OS after Vista will require a credit card slot on any machine it's installed on, and a valid card in the slot each time you start up the machine.
