Quote:
usually oem software is not sold alone
mostly you get it with some hardware (very often a notebook or any computer)
you get also a booklet or cd case with a hologram
(or there is a sticker on the computer)
and if your read the license conditions, you would know, that you use it illegally even if it is genuine
(these software usually checks the computer where you try to install it, so you cannot install it anyway)
i have several computers with oem windows and it is pretty stupid, because you do not have real installation cd's only so-called recovery cd's...

I got mine alone, sold with envelope, case and license sticker, with short manual. The cd is a standard one, and I've installed from scratch, alongside Linux. Verification process worked with no problems.
