OEM vs Retail


lost

Recommended Posts

The only problem I see with the OEM is that you have to choose between 32 and 64-bit, whereas the full version and upgrades come with both. How do you know which one to pick. I know that most poeple would still say to get the 32-bit at this point. Won't we be seing a shift to 64-bit apps soon?

ah that is strange. Mine worked and activated and i am genuine! I havn't cracked or anything. And i should have rights to both the 32-bit and 64-bit version becuase they are the same price!

Not exactly. bigred is right. There was a way to change some files in xp home to make it pro. Those may someday be same priced but that dose not make it legal.
