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 :D

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