NORTON Chat wrong ?!

I contacted NORTON Chat for a question.. and I wanted to know that if I formatted my PC it counted as a new activation, and they said it was, so when Windows 8 comes out and I'm gonna use it, this counts as 1 activation so I have 1 less on my NORTON Account!

 

A little bit strange I think cause it's still 1 PC and not a new system (PC/computer) !

 

Cheers.. :)
