True; but then I believe you are legally allowed to move it to a different system if you build a new one, whereas an OEM version is tied to that system.

Of course one option is to buy a lower priced "upgrade" version and finagle it using readily available instructions to install without an existing version (I seem to recall you boot from the media, do an install without supplying the serial number. and then do a second install from the installed, non serial numbered installation).
