Windows ME OEM?

Since it's half what the full retail version costs, why wouldn't you buy it? I assume it has everything that's included in the retail package, plus you save 100 bucks!

I don't think you can "legally" buy an OEM version of Windows. They are for stores to bundle together with new machines. If you can find an OEM version for sale somewhere go for it. It should be the same as the retail version besides it won't let you do an "upgrade" and only allows full install. Well I am not 100% sure on the "upgrade" limitation.

Yeah the OEM only allows full installation, no upgrade.

I think I read somewhere that OEM version is a bootable CD, whereas retail isn't. somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right on that one.
