I want to install a new motherboard, I would like to format my HD to do this,
however, I know that I could do an XP repair. BUt if that does not work
then I have to format the HD.
But, I have 3 installs (the most you can have) on my WIndows office 2007 and
I am afraid that it will show it as the 4th install since the MB is
different. Does the IP address change (I hope Microsoft goes by that) when I
change the MB?
Will I be able to install 2007 after formatting my HD ?

Office is not the same as Windows in this respect - you are allowed three
concurrent installs and it doesn't matter what computers those three are on,
as long as all you have is three.
