Please don't post in all Caps. It's hard to read and considered rude and
shouting.

OEM versions have some restrictions.

1. They are tied by the license to the first computer on which it's
installed, and can't be moved to a different computer. If that first
computer dies, the license dies with it. IMO this is the biggest drawback
to an OEM version.

2. OEM versions cannot do an upgrade, only a clean install.

3. There is no tech support through MS for an OEM version. The person who
installed it is responsible for tech support. If you install it yourself
then you are on your own (of course there are excellent resources such as
this newsgroup.

Your sentence doesn't really make any sense. If English is not your
first language, then you may wish to post in a newsgroup for your native
language. I say this not to offend you, but to help you get the answers
you need. Here is a list of all the MS newsgroups; scroll down until you
find the right language newsgroups:

Other than that, if you want help from this newsgroup please post back
with exactly what you are trying to do/find out. When you post back,
please used mixed case instead of all capital letters. Typing in all
caps is considered shouting, rude, but more importantly it makes your
post very difficult to read.

"OEM" means "Original Equipment Manufacturer". OEM software and hardware
is aimed at the system builder market primarily and carries different
warranties and limitations.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacture. When you buy a OEM
Processor that's all you get. A retail version
would usually have the Heatsink Fan and better Warranty. An OEM Version
of WinXP Pro would be tied to the machine
you install it on. If you decide to dump your computer you will not be
able to transfer the OEM version of WinXP.
A retail version can be installed on any computer. But on only one at a
time. So you could transfer a retail version of XP
from one computer to another. You could not though buy a new computer and
install the retail version on it unless you
format and remove the retail version from the previous computer. DONT USE
CAPITALS, ITS LIKE SHOUTING.

Acá pregunta todo lo que se te ofrezca Julio...

Don't post binaries in a text group. I didn't want your crappy
picture on my hard drive.

There are newsreader settings that prevent that...or look at the size of the
message before you open it.

The newsreader is irrelevant. I don't look at the size of EVERY
message before I open it, and even so in longer threads that could all
be text.

This is a text group and common netiquette says you don't post
binaries in a TEXT group.

Yes indeed. Binaries can contain executable code and do bad things to
innocent users. I will keep an eye on this as it develops.

Speaking of netiquette...some tact and courtesy are nice, too.
