[AccessD] OT: OEM software bundles

Hi Kath,
I use OEM quite a bit. I would be very skeptical of this site. Prices are
too low and they are not being upfront about things. For instance the Adobe
Creative Suite is now v2 the one they describe would be v1 because it has
Acrobat 6 included. They don't state this anywhere that I can see.
Deceptive.

Have any of you purchased or considered purchasing OEM versions of Office or
Windows? 

Is there any guarantee at all that it will be the full version? And how do
MS handle the activation aspect of Office with these versions? Can they be
re-installed? It seems to be very difficult to find a list of *all* of the
limitations of the OEM's. Is it in the hands of the distributor to select
what goes into the package?

Some of these bundles do look tempting: http://www.softdisks.net
