OEM Version has install gotchas. Beware! Pan over the picture of the DVD and read carefully.

This is an OEM version. Visually, there is nothing in the ad that states that. I chose this INSTEAD of other OEM versions I decided not to purchase. Yes, if you pan over the picture you can read the DVD cover to see the OEM restrictions, and you should read the cover. There are installation restrictions. It cannot be used to upgrade an existing partition, might require OEM tools etc. I tried to install in 3 different ways and it failed on each occasion. I have not yet had time to install and re-install over and over to work around them to get a working install. Instead I installed from a version freely available over the Internet from Microsoft. If you are not already familiar with installing OEM versions beware! The "Service" email address was a sales email not an IT email. IT did respond, with poor grammar in a way that was hard to decipher.Read full review
