You only have to call MS if you reactivate more than 3 times a year, and
if you are honestly not pirating then who cares.
If you buy a preinstalled OEM version, such as most laptops then the
license is valid only for that computer. If you buy the disk version for
a little more it is yours for perpetuity for 1 concurrent use license.

You'd probably have to re-activate windows and is probably against
their license agreement in some way (which I should read one day) -
replacing the entire computer and "ghosting" the system back onto it.
I don't imagine it's against their licence agreement as long as you
aren't trying to run two copies simultaneously. However you are right,
on non-volume licenced versions of Windows you will probably be forced
to reactivate which means a support call to Microsoft. If it's a genuine
hardware failure I can't see how they could deny reactivation though.
Cheers,
Paul
