>>Don't forget the Intel chip all have serial numbers and they can be read by the OS (I hasten to add that I don't know exactly how), but I know there are ways in which a Windows installation can be tied to a specific machine, some how...
Windows identifies the machine it's on by the MAC address on its ethernet interface, which is (supposedly) unique. Swap an ethernet card out and you have to call Micro$oft to get the code to make it work again; it thinks it's on another computer.
