Hmm. Well, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software/hardware must be included with a system to be purchased at that price. Usually, if you go to a retailer, and purchase Windows 95 with the system, it will be an OEM copy. It's cheaper for the retailer to acquire. The only real difference, is that there's usually no books/manuals that come with it and the support will come from the System Builder, and not the manufacturer of the software. Example: If you purchase a copy of Windows 95 OEM, Microsoft will not support it. Well, not for free <g> It's often a good bargain, but most of the time illegal for the seller if it's not bundled with a system. Considering the price, I wouldn't be surprised if it's an illegal copy (you'd be surprised at real they look). Richard
