what I am seeing failed to metnion here is that MOST of the time when you buy OEM software you do not get the tech support that would come with the same program purchased retail boxed.

Example you buy Windows XP OEM and I get mine Retail boxed from Best Buy or some other such outlet. We both start having problems I call Microsoft up and get the solution (I KNOW IT IS NOT THAT EASY JJUST SAYING FOR THE POINT OF MAKING A POINT) Well you call M-shaft up and they tell you since it is an OEM product you need to call the company that made your computer ie IBM, Compaq, HP etc. and since you do not have that brand of a computer you are SOL for support from Microsoft.

I know this has been an extreme dramatization above, but just pointing out things since not everyone has the same level of comfort with diagnosing and or troubleshooting software problems on their computers.

Me personally would be all over it and would not bother me any.
