What am I gaining by purchasing a retail version of XP pro instead of
getting a OEM version on EBay for 1/2 the price?

moved to a new computer after that time frame?

1)
Who do you contact if you really need help. Since Microsoft does not
directly support OEM and you do not have an OEM to call (????)
2)
Retail = portability. New PC can "legally" have Retail version
"moved" to it. OEM = You can not "leaglly".
I don't believe anyone has said that all information about an
activation is "deleted" in some way.
You may reactivate a Retail release of Windows XP over the Internet
after 120 after the first activation.

Please do not misinform people with your trash talk.
