Got an email from Intel regarding OEM version of Pro PC Camera

[kongfu]

Hello knogfu:

I am not aware of an OEM version the camera. Can you tell me where you saw this ad? I'd like to get some more information on it.

It is possible that some cameras are provided without packaging and less of a warranty to some companies but I haven't heard of any for this camera. And in some cases the software may not be provided since certain versions of Windows* "may" include the drivers for the camera.
