| | OEM Version of Win7 Hi, is it possible to purchase an OEM version of Windows 7 (much cheaper in AUST) and do a clean install. I am running Vista on an ACER laptop. Are there any restrictions on the disk that would prevent you from doing this? |

| | The primary restriction is that you will get no technical support and it can only be used on one computer. If you buy a new computer you cannout use the OEM on that computer, even if you no longer use the one that had the OEM, originally. Oh yes, it will not arrive in a fancy box. |

| | I got a fancy box with a Vista System Builder (oem ) disk inside. You probably do with 7 too - you just need to keep it on the same machine. You can upgrade that machine as much as you like. If windows thinks it's on a new machine after an upgrade - ring MS free activation service line. |
