Re: OEM versions and Full Versions of Vista

OEM versions of Windows Vista are tied to the very first
computer you install and activate it on and are non-transferrable
to a different PC in the future. Retail versions are transferrable
and include free Microsoft technical support for installation and/or
troubleshooting incidents. OEM versions offer no free Microsoft
technical support.

I see OEM versions advertised. If I build my own PC and install an
OEM version, will I have a valid activated system? What does the Full
Version allow me to do that the OEM won't?
