Well, it does not "die" with it, but if it sees a significant change with the HW it may require you to reactivate it and maybe explain it away to a M$ tech as a replacement motherboard in the same PC. Could get edgy. I would opt for the full version of XP Pro were it not for my MDSN subscription. Have you looked into getting the MSDN license through the M$ Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Empower program? I think it is $375 for all OS and apps for multiple machines used to develop M$ based solutions. At the end of the year the monthly updates stop, but you can keep using the OS/Apps.
