Microsoft Answers 'Vista OEM' Questions | |

| Time: 00:58 EST/05:58 GMT | News Source: Yahoo News | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

A Microsoft representative confirmed that users may buy an OEM copy of Windows Vista at a substantial discount, provided they adhere to the terms of the license – which, incidentally, may mean providing support for family members. In addition, users should still be subject to the same familiar re-activation restrictions as users of a retail Vista license and Windows XP, a spokeswoman said. Users can alter the PC's hardware substantially, but they will be forced to reactivate – not repurchase the OEM software – if they do, she said. | ||

Can't believe they had spell it out so clearly. This has always been my understanding of how OEM System Builder licenses worked.
I guess the only real difference is that when XP launched, the main channels for obtaining OEM software weren't nearly as widely available or well known. Now, you can purchase OEM software from just about any online retailer. Even Amazon is selling Vista and XP OEM software now. With that, now Aunty Sally can buy OEM software. This does present some challenges for MSFT, though. I have a feeling that many folks who are PC novices but accomlished online shoppers may not realize what they are getting into, and there will be many calls to MSFT as well as the retailer for support; calls that will be turned away (and rightly so). This may spur some additional MSFT outrage in the public arena, and be bad from a PR standpoint. I can hear the cries of "MSFT won't even support their products any more" already. Hopefully people will be smart enough to stay away from OEM software if they can't handle it. I'd hate to see MSFT tighten up OEM restrictions and availability in the future as a result of unqualified individuals creating problems because of OEM software. |

These eliminate chances of landing up in hands of some bogus sites. Make sure the site you choose to buy your replica handbag from, has pictures of the product they are offering for sale. Also going through customers' review will help you take a decision as to the creditability of the company. Look around you might see replica handbags of the original brand been sold in your near buy flee market.
