OEM VS Retailer?

I can pick up XP Pro OEM at around 130.00 while Retailer is about 230+

What's up with that? I heard both needs to be phoned up to M$ for new activation key once you are reinstalling (or is this wrong?)

Am I saving 100 dollars just because of its not coming in fancy box?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What Microsoft doesn't tell you, is that you get 5 licenses per retail copy of Windows XP (I don't know about the others.)

After 5, you need to start calling in on that one disc you used.
Including OEM right?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If I buy an OEM and use it.

Than my PC breaks.

I can reinstall if I buy fresh HDD and mobo, etc?



Bah, w/e it's cheap <___> so might as well pick this up.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
