Microsft make you get a new reg number if the new system is significantly different then the original system it was first activated on. Not really a problem as it does not cost anything but it is annoying as they will not activate XP unless you swear that the OS has been removed from the original machine. That said I have got all my stuff to work well on Vista and once you turn off the annoying user account control it is a nice platform to work from.
