I pre ordered Windows 7 Home Premium from Amazonicon.co.uk and installed it when it arrived.
Two weeks ago my house was burgled and my software was stolen and the product serial key sticker was stolen off my PC tower as well.
I rang MS customer services straight away to get them to deactivate my old key and give me a new one. I was told that it didn't work like that and that it was my responsibility "to protect my software investment" and that it basically wasn't their problem. If someone tries to use my serial key and contacts their customer services to activate their installation they will deactivate my key and disable my operating system as well.
