OEM version *may* be system specific
ie once sys fails it cannot be installed on new sys, also many major sys
manu. tweak the software to be specific to their sys.

And it *may* be exactly the same.

Are you saying *all* OEM's are system specific or that they "may" be system
specific? I say you can get an OEM that has everything on the CD that a
retail version would have. In fact, I would say we buy OEMs from our
wholesaler and put them on the new computers we build and sell to our
clients but what the hell would I know?

Some OEM disks, primarily those supplied by well know sys manu.
