NO, in the EULA it says you may install the software on 1 computer. If you transfer the license to another computer, you must uninstall the OS from the original computer.
Hi Friends:
According to the new MS OEM EULA one must be a "system builder" to install the software on a machine. And, a system builder can be an end user. To be a system builder, one now has to be an "original equipment manufacturer, an assembler, a refurbisher, or pre-installer of software on computer systems". I think that many, who buy pieces (perhaps a single piece) of hardware, for an existing computer system may qualify as system builders under the "refurbisher" category. So for a DIYer to qualify as a "system builder," he or she would need to be assembling a computer or refurbishing one.

The Digital Entertainer HD automatically discovers HD movies, TV shows, music files, and personal photos on a home network, across multiple PCs, and organizes these into a single media library displayed on a TV without the need for media server software running on the computer. Using the included remote, consumers can search their entire media library by multiple criteria including title, actor, date, genre or thumbnail images (from photos, album art or DVD covers). A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port displays video resolution up to 1080p on big-screen TVs and optical digital audio output (TOSLINK) transmits full digital surround sound to the consumers’ digital audio receiver.
“More than half of US broadband users are interested in using a media center PC or media server to record and watch TV from any TV or PC, watch purchased/rented movies on any TV or PC, and listen to digital music on any stereo or PC in the home,” said Joyce Putscher, principal analyst for home networking/digital home research at In-Stat. “HDMI is the leading HD digital interface in the consumer electronics market, and devices such as the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer HD are poised to reap the benefits as consumer media collections grow, demand rises for HD programming, and more users desire to stream their content throughout the home.”
