Given em time, soon it will be just replacing the CPU or RAM.
"we're making more money than god, what else can we do to make more money?"
Sounds more like a way to trip up someone dumb enough to say it was for
a reason other than defect. Defect now seems to the back door to major
changes then. "My mobo died, they don't make new ones that use my CPU &
RAM so I had to replace all 3." ;)

Good thing all of my motherboard replacements are for defects.
Defects in speed, defects in feature list, defects in compatibility...:)

From the Lockergnome newsletter:
Microsoft recently made changes to the license agreement. A new
motherboard is now apparently the equal of a new computer, and if you
upgrade it you need to purchase a new Windows license. Microsoft's new
policy states: An upgrade of the motherboard is considered to result
in a "new personal computer" to which Microsoft OEM operating system
software cannot be transferred from another computer. If the
motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect,
then a new computer has been created and the license of new operating
system software is required.
