Windows 8 should work as well but most ppl don't know the license because they don't have any stickers. Windows 7 works about 3 times ime before you need to call.

Mine as well.  IIRC, XP was even more.

I was not aware of this.  M$ and/or the manufacturers are crazy.  What happens when a system crashes, with no way to retrieve the code from the registry?  What do they expect you to do?

It applies to windows 8 as well. Usually you can install the same license on 2 computers in your home and with a call I believe a third. They assume you are buying one license to use on your desktop and laptop.

Again, I have been out of the industry for a few years, but this was not the case previously, and I doubt it is now.  With the exception of VL, or Office Student and Teacher, M$ never sold one license to be installed on more than one computer.  The activation would work, but that does not mean they allowed you to have more than one instance of the installation.  IMO, they just felt people may have legitimate reasons to reinstall a couple of times.   To save themselves the few pennies it would take to force you to call and get a manual approval, they hard-coded the activation system to allow up to three activations.  But, again, their assumption was (and still is) that you only have it installed on ONE device.

The code is saved in the BIOS and actually activates automatically...

Not true, you can't use one license for multiple machines according to MS. They probably assume you had to reinstall Windows again on the same system..

Mine wasn't pithy enough?
