Hi. Can anyone please explain why OEM versions of Vista are so much cheaper than the Retail versions?
From limited reading here, it appears that the OEM version can only be installed on a single machine and cam not be 'deactivated' and moved to another machine. If this is the case, what can I upgrade in my machine before the OS 'thinks' it is running on another machine?
Also, can I buy the OEM version without buying any other hardware?
