every 4 months, activation data on their servers is reset, meaning you can install on a new machine with the same cd key every 4 months.
Is this true? I had not heard of this before. I was going to try this method, but because they are activated at the factory (or so I'm told), I didn't think the same key could be used to activate another machine.

I wonder what happens if a person buys the display model and reformats and tries to activate. I assume it won't work for them, but could M$ trace it to me. Seems like it would be easier to stay with corp.
