Hey guys!
Im looking to buy Vista...It was pretty expensive(duh) but I found one package that would fit me like a glove:

MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREM 64-BIT SVE DVD#OEM

But then I noticed these points about the OEM-license:

  • You as a customer may only install the OEM-license on a new PC.
    This means that you may not install it on a PC that has had a previous operative system.
  • The sticker that follows the OEM-license on which the licensekey is written has to be attached to the new PC at install.
  • The OEM-license is bound to the specific PC that it has been installed on accordingly to the "systembuildingagreement".


This gives me loads of questions in my head.
What is exactly the OEM license?
Why is it so much cheaper than ordinary ones?
If I have XP on my pc, is it impossible to remove it and install this? Or is it just a legal thing. "Thou shall not"
Who is gonna make me put a freaking sticker on my pc?
Why do I feel that I shouldnt buy a OEM license?
etc etc. I did some searching on MS site but I couldnt find any good answers, so I really wish someone could take my confusion away
