Which would be just awful for Microsoft. They would have to be bothered to sell more licenses to the OEMs for all those replacement machines, which would certainly seem to be a bit of a hassle. I'm certain that if Microsoft was made aware that some OS (mis)feature could possibly result in early obsolescence they would be quite careful in considering its inclusion.
