"The main difference between OEM and Retail is that the OEM license does not allow moving the OS to a different computer, once it is installed.
After installation, an OEM copy is essentially indistinguishable from a retail copy."
"Q: I build my own computers--mainly so I'll know what's in them and dont have to fool with the manufacturers' alleged "tech support" while I'm in warranty. At some point in the future I'll probably want to build one with Windows 7--when I do, do I qualify to use the "OEM System Builders" version or do I have to buy a retail copy?"
"A: Yes, you can buy the "OEM System Builders" version of Windows 7. Many online stores sell it."
