I think it depends on the source of the license. I didn't find a source for guaranteed unused licenses so most of the licenses seemed to be license numbers taken from other machines. I needed Windows for commercial use so in the end played safe and bought full retail boxed license for about �160. If you look through reviews on Amazon for OEM you will see that some people are having problems.

[edit]Just looked through reviews, they seem more positive than the ones that i was looking at last Nov/Dec. Still caveat emptor.
