Becoming a system builder, What to do about Windows?
You can buy the OEM version of the software in bulk, you only save a few bucks here and there but if you are selling many computers it can save you a lot of money. When I build a system for someone I include it within the cost. Yes you do have to keep buying the CD and don’t forget the Windows serial number sticker on the back of the PC or you will be breaking Windows Agreement (don’t worry they won’t bother you but they do sometimes step into large corporations to ensure the sticker is on every PC in the office)! It is also a good idea to give this CD to your customers so if they may encounter any issues in the future they can reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows. Think of software as hardware its in the cost of building the computer.
