Re: OEM versions and Full Versions of Vista
You are wrong. Except for changing the MOBO, you can change other equipment
and do any updates you need. You may have to reactivate but your license is
good. I should add, that in addition to the other mentioned items, the
retail version allows you to switch to the 64-bit or 32-bit version, for at
most a fee for the disk (comes with Ultimate), the OEM version is for one or
the other. Make sure you buy the version you want to stick with.
