What does OEM mean?
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) refers to the manufacturer of the printer, copier or fax machine. Originally, OEM product meant new (not compatible, refilled, recycled or remanufactured). However, with the advent of recycling programs by large manufacturers, you may see comments on their packaging like, “This product may contain new and recovered parts.” In the last few years, most OEM cartridges are a mixture of new and recycled materials. However, you pay full retail price for these cartridges, when in fact they are also recycled cartridges.
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer. OEM software is used by computer system builders, large and small. Large manufacturers have their own branded Microsoft OEMs. The OEMs sold from this website are unbranded Microsoft, and can be used on any PC or laptop. UPDATE: We now sell Dell branded OEM Windows XP Professional alongside unbranded OEM Windows XP Professional. The Dell branded product is supplied with a free Dell mouse to conform with licensing regulations, and is cheaper than it’s unbranded equivalent – excellent value for money – our Dell branded disks provide the cheapest legal way to get Windows XP you’ll ever find on the Internet! OEM: WHAT REALLY MATTERS The primary difference between OEM and retail (aside from the price) is the licensing: An OEM license lives and dies with the computer it is installed onto. You cannot transfer an OEM license to another computer at the end of the life of your machine. On the other hand, a retail license can be transferred to another machine
