Is $150 or so the correct price for the operating system? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The Correct way to get this is when buying a new computer. $150. or so is about street value for the full version, if you already have a system installed you can get the upgrade for about $89. like I said if the item is marked OEM, and did not come with a new computer, something isnt right Philippe Beaulieu PCBUILD maintains hundreds of useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://nospin.com/pc/files.html
