    Vista OEM

    Vista OEM Home Premium: £70
    Vista Home Premium: £170

    Is the only different one comes with support and the other doesn't? If I buy OEM will it work fine?

    Re: Vista OEM

    The OEM version can't be transfered to another computer when you upgrade your motherboard.
    Otherwise they're exactly the same.

    Thanks for the quick response, I wont be changing my mobo for at least 5 years I reckon and even then if I bought another Vista OEM it's still cheaper.

    Re: Vista OEM

    Also with oem you buy a 32bit or 64bit version, whereas I believe with full and upgrade versions you have a license to install either.
