This cannot be counted upon in other cases. If MS is making an exception to the EULA, it can only be considered an exception.
Have now seen four reports of this in the past year but I would not buy OEM because of it unless they change the EULA. Reports are that they are tightening the OEM EULA requirements to apply to System Builders only as originally intended.
One previous case gave the impression that they excepted mobo change because they were told it was installed to wrong machine in error. They can check how long it was activated on their end.
