Sure they have a choice. They can choose to compete in the commodity PC =
market by accepting the MS solution or not. It's a business decision = that's
more a necessity than a 'choice'. =20

Only if you redefine incentive to mean choice.

It sure is important. You claimed that replacing the computer =
but keeping the case is the keeping the same computer. You really do = need to
have a firm basis in reality if you want to make a point.
The choice you continue to whine about is one made by =
emachines. You should be whining to them. But of course no one expects = you
to. You will likely continue to whine.

Not incapable, unimportant to my point that tying Windows =
license to the hardware is proof that Microsoft is just as draconian.

If you are unhappy with emachines, whine to emachines.

Motherboard, case, what's the difference, pick which you =
want to call the computer. The point is if I buy software I expect to be =
allowed to run that software on one computer, if my old computer dies I =
expect to be able to replace the hardware and run the same software on = one
computer.=20
Change that model, force me to buy new software every time I =
buy a new computer, an suddenly it gets a lot easier to move to another =
platform like Mac or Linux.

I doubt it was tied to that individual motherboard or =
even that type of motherboard.
BTW, are we all to be pretending that the case is the =
computer and the motherboard an accessory instead of the reality.
