Fascinating discussion that didn't serve much purpose other than to likely scare the OP away.
Oh and for those that keeping going on about needing to have documentation/registrated/etc, remember what Greg said about the upgrade install being on the honor system? this is why,

Exactly. Other than price the only differences between retail and OEM is the licensing. With OEM it is locked to the computer it is first installed on, and you don't get free limited time support from Microsoft. Not really a big deal when there are forums like this that you can get as good or better help from.Why pay $199 for a retail version if a $99 OEM version does the same thing.
