Alot of people are misunderstanding the policy. That only applies to transferring the OS from one computer to another. You can do it only once, after that you have to buy it again. This limitation does not apply to a user upgrading the same computer repeatedly. The link to the article is below.

Microsoft has changed their policy on this. There will be no limitation on full retail copies of Vista. OEM copies have ALWAYS been locked to the machine they came with and no change to that policy has been made.
