So i was checking out overclockers.co.uk , and i see that they will be seliing an OEM version for £135, now i have an OEM version on my PC now, as its a business license, but surely companies have to sell a piece of hardware with this software to abide my MS law. I was going to buy this myself, but as i understand it, i wont recieve any of the additional over the phone support that they usually give, as that is supposed to from the retailer of a PC with an OEM OS. eg Dell.

So in short, will i loose out greatly by buying this OEM version?


P.S those of you gettin free copies from MSDN, i hate you

There is no support whatsoever with any OEM software - the system builder (in your case, this is you) must provide it

You could probably fix any problems without resorting to calling Microsoft anyway, so you just need to weigh it up...........
