If you're buying 'OEM' software from *anyone* other than the original
vendor, it's almost certainly illegal. OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) software is licensed by the software developer to
*hardware manufacturers* specifically for inclusion in new 'complete'
systems, and often it's custom branded to match with the bundle deal or
hardware. OEM software is never authorized for resale by a third party.
