Poor driver support? You must have a pretty old computer to say that.<SS>SonderKommando wrote:
I believe the OEM version (system builders) is intended to be used on one machine only, and the other can be used on mult machines in your home? I think thats correct. I have OEM vista home premium, uninstalled due to poor driver support, works fine though!
Specs are in sig nub. My machine is pretty damn good. When i got vista back in Jan i believe there was no SLi support for DX9 cards, so i unitsalled it. No need for it now becuase i dont have a DX10 card and there are hardly any DX10 games out worth playing. Its waiting for my 8800gtx and two more gigs of ram in November. Then i will reinstall.Zimmer wrote:

I have had no problems with Vista. Ever.
Just buy the OEM, Bell is correct.
You could just use it. It's better, safer, nicer and easier.<SS>SonderKommando wrote:

This is enforced via activations ... say you do a number of upgrades that break the activation (i.e. video card and new optical drives) .. you cannot reactivate with a hardware configuration different form that which you started. So this is fine if you do not plan on doing any moderate upgrading beyond system creation.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
Strictly speaking, OEM should only be sold with hardware and is tied to that hardware.
But nobody takes any notice of any of that.
The software is identical.
You'll just get a fancy curvy box, a (probably rubbish) manual and some bumpf with the retail version.

I love the new OS. I waited until a couple weeks ago to install it, holding back all this time because of all the negativity that I heard regarding Vista. All I can say is that I wish I had gotten it sooner.Zimmer wrote:
