Double use.

I could see these Info-cards used with the serial number also so you have to have the right card and right number to install the OS. After the OS is in it hides the serial part and lets you addon the passwd and ect.

Re: Double use.

With USB devices like 1gb flashdrives,
how about a flashdrive that can't be changed?
Bundle it with the OS, during OS install, it looks for
this drive to read a 1gb length encryption key.
A one-way hash within the install program generates a
complimentary key, if they match, the OS installs.
If not, you're SOOL. If you lose it, you contact MS,
prove you purchased the software (receipt, serial # etc)
and you pay for another hardware key.
