yep its just the CD and sticker without the box and manual

everybody just throws away the box and nobody reads the manual anyway so i cant see why anyone would ever NOT get an OEM version when buying.

that said the "rules" say your suppose to only buy it when your building or upgrading to a new system so the fine print says you MUST purchase PC hardware at or about the same time period but i have never seen any evidence that that rule is ever enforced.

if you use it for an upgrade without buying hardware you could be in trouble if Bill Gates ever knocks on your door to check compliance.

EDIT: just make sure your getting the hologram CD and not the Dell OEM CD which is full of their bundled crap so if that is what you are getting make sure its at a discount to the hologram CD
