From the OEM EULA:

Thus, a new motherboard constitutes a new computer,

In YOUR opinion - if the EULA meant a new motherboard constituted a
new computer then WHY DOESN'T IT SAY SO?

If I change the motor in my car it doesn't become a new car does it?

I'll tell you why the EULA doesn't say this - because Microsoft knows full
well that no court of law would uphold it, and that's why MS has NEVER
brought a case to court.
