If I upgrade my computer, and reinstall Vista, will that count against the transfer limit?

Isn't this already the case?

Windows XP reinstalls require product activation...this typically amounts to trying to activate on-line (which fails), then waiting in queue before talking to some rep to explain why you need to re-activate, and then typing in a new activation code.

No, I can wipe my harddrive and reinstall Win XP ad infinitum. I have to reenter the authentication code, but there is no limit to how many times I can do that.
