    Just remember to check whether you are buying an Upgrade or Full version. Upgrade normally requires you insert a Win95/98/ME CD prior to XP installation if you are doing a fresh install - which might be a problem if you didnt get a CD originally.

    all OEm versions are full, and are cheaper than upgrade versions

    also note you can't phone microsoft with tech support queries with OEM - that's what the extra hundred pound gets you

    i have a sealed copy of xp home oem in a box, infact

    I think it is too big. And directhex is a mod, so he gets special treatment
