Theres no such thing as different channels anymore as far as media is concerned. The ei.cfg and a few other files might say OEM or RETAIL or VOL or whatever, but it doesn't matter.
Any key can be used with any media OEM, Retail, or VOL (as long as the VOL isn't Enterprise). As I had mentioned earlier also, gone are the days when you had separate OEM media, RTL Media, and VOL Media, now everything is all the same. Installing say home premium off an OEM DVD activates the same way out of the box as a RTL dvd would would. The key you enter dictates the edition.
I'm sure you're not being argumentative, you're just factually incorrect, sorry.
