The difference being that houses and cars don't come with a EULA in which the manufacturer 
is legally bound to ensure that you can use the license untill the end of times.

No organization lasts forever, no matter how succesful it may be today. Eventually 
M$ will cease to exist, just like Pan Am and the Soviet Union. But under the terms 
of the EULA, M$ is legally required to ensure that the grandchildren of your grandchildren 
of your etc. can buy an ancient computer from a museum in the year 6666 and use their 
great-great-greatgrandfathers licensed copy of XP on it. If product activation is 
not possible by then, M$ is legally required to provide an alternative method to 
get the product running. An XP license never expires, even though the hardware 
on which it runs becomes obsolete.
