Want to borrow this thread to clarify...
If I buy OEM license and build own computer from parts, doesn't that make me the OEM supplier? I could set it up myself or set it up for others, and if anything happens, I just call MS and ask them to reactivate. Is this correct? |

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. |

I don't think it is for testing and research. In my years of using windows, I only ever had to call Microsoft on activation. All other support via online forums. I do, however, own retail win 7 for my working rig.Therefore, not recommended for users usage. |
