Hi,
I've seen an OEM copy of Windows XP Professional on sale at www.ebuyerco.uk at this .web link.
The thing is, it costs only 100 English Pounds (including VAT + delivery), whereas the full retail version costs around 260 Pounds.
Does anyone know the difference between the OEM and retail version? I know the retail version has 2 extra CD's. Does anyone know what's in those CD's, are they anything important? Am I missing out on anything if I get the OEM version? They say I lose out on the support from Microsoft, but will I still be entitled to the updates on the Microsoft website?
Thanks
