Is it the same process as with XP as far as needing to reactivate? I was planning on buying Vista Ultimate in the next couple days, but I was also going to build a new pc in a few weeks. If I install Vista on my current pc im sure I'll need to reactivate it when i put it on the new pc. Will I have any problems doing this?

Thanks

No, you'll be fine. Worst possible case you'll have to call MS, and even that is relatively pain-free.

Alright. Hopefully I'll be ok with the OEM version even if the license is only supposed to be valid on the system it was originally installed on.

I just wouldn't activate Vista on your current machine, build new pc and then activate, unless of course its after 30 days.
