What is the difference between Windows 7 and … Windows 7?
Newegg is selling the OEM version of Windows 7 for less than the retail. No surprise that it costs less, but what is the trade off between a cheaper price and what Microsoft is(n’t) giving me.

Also- should I get it (the cheap version)?
Also- here is the article that turned me on to this.

I put this in software because I’m looking for the differences between the retail version and the OEM not pricing schemes.
Thanks.
I have read the article, and what it points out is that you do not get official Microsoft support and stripped down packaging. Sounds like a good deal if you are tech savvy.
