While true, I have found a way to get around that issue so far. There are 2 phone numbers that you can call for Microsoft support. One is fully automated which will fail every time with a motherboard change. This is the phone number that windows suggest upon activation, and what most people use.

There is also a list of phone numbers for every individual country that will get you speaking with an actual representative. Once you talk with a real person, you just tell them that the other components will remain the same, but you are changing the motherboard because it died. I have yet to have one of the real people refuse to activate my Windows OEM copy by following this route.
