OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. Basically, people who build or repair PCs have access to all kinds of hardware and software that is exactly the same as the stuff you buy in the shops, except that it comes without the pretty box, glossy instruction book and added extras. This makes it quite a lot cheaper than the retail versions that you buy in places like PC World
You get quite alot of OEM stuff sold on ebay and similar sites. It's not technically illegal to sell OEM stuff to the public, but you're not meant to really
Microsoft certainly don't like retailers selling OEM versions of their software
It's not only the IT industry that benefits from OEM stuff.

I'm sure it was PC World with that offer but damned if I can find it now! This is a link to a computer just under £400 with reasonable specs:-

Jack,
In the Daily Mirror, they were stating in the PC World ad that any laptop over £400 qualifies for a free Vista upgrade. Trouble is, they jump from £395 to £445 which is a bit cheeky. I'll try and find you the link.
