I guess it makes sense in the 'ideal' scenario. I.e. a one day upgrade, no need to reformat in the future.

Legitimate business will be using volume license full versions.

The only annoyance will be for power users who like to reformat the box 'occasionally'. Or want a dual boot.

I am curious, if it invalidates the previous xp key, how do you recover from a reformat?
