Does Win7 Enterprise do away with the hardware-change triggers re-activation BS?

Just curious. Was thinking of using one HD for two computers, swapping between the two. Of course, the hardware would be different. Don't want Win7 de-activating each time I swap. Is there any solution to this?

Would it work if I built two identical computers? (Of course, the MAC address in the BIOS would be different between the boards, and so would the BIOS serial number, so it could potentially trigger re-activation too, I suppose. Depending on whether those two items are enough to trigger it.)

Nope, it's the same basic activation checks as the other Win7 editions. Only the activation mechanism itself (using MAKs/KMS).
