I have got an Acer Aspire with Vista Basic and the motherboard died due to =
a power surge.
it is easier for me to replace the motherboard with a new Asus unit and =

Is this Acer installed Vista going to let me do a re-install on a =
different motherboard and will the keycode license labelled on the tower =
work with this?
Thanks,
Gordon

The Vista installation or recovery disk you have is probably BIOS-locked
to a motherboard with an Acer BIOS.
If you can get a Microsoft installation disk - for any, presumably
32-bit, version of Vista - the key would work although you might need to
phone for activation.

If not BIOS locked, the motherboard will no longer be an Acer so you
will be breaking the "spirit" of the OEM EULA (end-user license
agreement.) The only way is to try it out. Be advised, you may need
to use the telephone activation option instead of the on-line
activation.
Acer is a cheap, taiwanese C*AP.

If you insist on destroying American jobs and wish to send money China, at
least try Asus or Lenovo.
But better - HP.

HP, like most companies and people, avoids paying as much taxes as humanly
possible.
So what about a few white collar jobs.
And, Dell is little different, moving all their manufacturing jobs to Asia
and East Europe.
How much should uneducated workers make?
Pick a number.
Remember though, in the US, a worker would be hard pressed to eek a living
out of the $1.75/hr these billionaire executives are willing to part with.
How many PCs you think they are gonna sell to people making $80/week?
Your an idiot.
