Windows Vista - OEM version

In a previous post, I mentioned the OEM version of Vista is available and showed it was much cheaper than the Retail version.

With the OEM version of Vista there is a catch: the Vista Product Key will only work with the first motherboard it is installed on. In other words, you can install the OEM version of Vista on any number of computers but only one of these can be fully activated with the Product Key. The other installs will simply deactivate within 30 days, i.e. the grace period.
