Just found this page when googling for what exactly "qualifying hardware" is

Basically says that the only way they are allowed to sell OEM software is pre-installed on a brand new full system (from Sept 1st)
I know its still for sale now, I assume MS will be working through its official OEM partners and getting them to agree to the new OEM contract, and then that'll be it.
Buy now before its too late!
(unless the whole things a fake, on an official MS URL...?)
