It's ok to use OEM Windows on your own PC, dont ask microsoft
Petikan poin utama,

Q: I have a small company and one of my clients has asked
if I could upgrade several of their computers hardware and have
inquired about me updating their computers to Windows 7.
In researching pricing for Windows 7 to give an estimate
on cost for their requested computer work, I see that several places
offer for purchase “OEM System Builder” software. The ‘OEM System
Builder” is subject to “Microsoft OEM System Builder License” , can I
purchase this OEM software or do I need to purchase the ‘full’ version?
A: Yes you can purchase the OEM version of Windows 7. The OEM
versions of Windows have been available to the general public for many,
many years and have worked without problems.
The main difference between OEM and Retail is that the OEM license
does not allow moving the OS to a different computer, once it is
installed.
Other than this, they are the same OS.
And here's another Q&A,
asked and answered two days after Windows 7 was released last month:
Q: I build my own computers--mainly so I'll know what's
in them and dont have to fool with the manufacturers' alleged "tech
support" while I'm in warranty. At some point in the future I'll
probably want to build one with Windows 7--when I do, do I qualify to
use the "OEM System Builders" version or do I have to buy a retail copy?
A: Yes, you can buy the "OEM System Builders" version of Windows 7. Many online stores sell it.
That response was marked as an official Answer by the moderator of the forum, a Microsoft MVP.
So, to recap: A PC hobbyist or enthusiast who wants to buy a legal
copy of Windows 7 at a discount gets confusing and conflicting
information from Microsoft's web site. Microsoft's own "decision engine"
leads him to software he isn't supposed to use, and even offers extra
discounts if he buys through those links. He gets no information from
online retailers who will happily take his money for a product he
technically isn't allowed to install. And he gets absolutely wrong
answers if he asks at Microsoft's official help forums.
Is that pathetic, or what?
A Microsoft spokesperson told me that the policy toward use of OEM
software by home PC builders hasn't changed, and that the documents I
found and pointed readers to for years were "mistakes." Sorry, that
doesn't cut it. When you publish information on your website, and when
you create glossy handouts that you distribute to your partners for
years, those represent your policy. You can't suddenly change that
policy by deleting copies of the old documents and pretending they never
existed. That shows an appalling lack of transparency, not to mention a
lack of respect for customers.
Normally, I'm a firm believer in following the letter and the spirit
of software license agreements. In this case, though, given Microsoft's
complete breakdown in communicating with its customers, I'm willing to
make a major exception. I have no problem enthusiastically recommending
these discounted copies of Windows for anyone building a PC for their
own personal use. And I think someone at Microsoft should step up and
formally approve that exception. It's the right thing to do
