I'll be moving to W7 if testing goes well. I do hope my SLiC modified BIOS  does the same trick for W7 as it did for Vista  8)

Do tell?

Let's just say my original BIOS has gotten hold of some 'steroids' (SliC table) in his spare time and now it tells Vista "Hey, I'm an Asus laptop with an OEM license". :-X

No bootloader. That's for amateurs  ;)

The SliC table is inserted into the BIOS code, leaving all other code untouched. So you have part of the OEM code for pre-installed laptops included. Full flash (non-windows please) and you're set to go installing. Install a license (xrm-ms) and it's ready for always. There is no way MS can lock it since that would cause millions of legitimate laptop users to end up with invalid Vista licenses  ;D

It's just a hypothetical situation, something I read about on the internet. Some people do awful things, robbing a company of their desperately needed income.  ;D
