It will be interesting to see if this is actually true. My hunch is that it is not true. I mean, what happens if your motherboard craps out? Are they gonna make you buy a new OS just because you had to replace it? I think not.
From what I've seen so far:
OEM = Locked to motherboard specs once installed. If you want/need to replace your motherboard, it might be possible to go with the same model or one very similiar. Not sure about that, though.
Retail = Can be reinstalled to a different motherboard.
