OEM or Full retail??

[Smutt]

Hi peeps,

I want to buy a copy of WinMe (not upgrade), but need to know if theres that big a difference from the OEM and full retail versions.

The prices I've found are:

WinMe OEM - 84.22

WinMe Full Retail - 135.12

Is one site just trying to rip peeps off, or is it worth payin the extra for the full version.

ta for any comments

There should be no difference in the actual OS as long as you buy the full product not the upgrade like you say.

OEM's aren't supposed to be sold as seperate packages but are designed to be bundled together with a pre-built PC but all you really miss out on is a fancy box maybe a better looking manual and M$ won't support OEM products as your supposed to go back to the company you brought the PC from.
