Factory installed includes a customized Welcome screen, probably Microsoft
Works, trials of MS Office, anti-virus solutions, and games, links to the
OEM support, all device drivers set up, and a recovery partition.

Retail Vista is Vista on a DVD, no bundled software, no OEM help stuff, no
customized driver package, BUT it can be installed on ANY machine, but only
one at any one time..

You mean "may be installed", not "can".

You must be English. I would have said "may" but I have learned not to
insist on it. ;^)

No, I a US citizen but I had a proper education ;-) The difference I was
trying to point out, however, is that MS says you may install Vista on
one computer but one *can* install it on more than one.

¿De dónde eres?
