OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Basically you're getting just the main piece of hardware/software without all the extra fancy bits, retail boxing, advertising etc. Its alot cheaper to buy computer parts OEM, Operating Systems and Processors especially.
Example: www.ebuyer.com
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Retail: £169.57 inc VAT
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium OEM: £72.47 inc VAT

That's a £97.10p saving!!! |

Only problem with OEM, is that you generaly only get limited warranty and normally no support.... but it's normally better value for ppl who replace/upgrade frequently... |
