I just went through this for a client that was way out of compliance. The OEM stuff is ILLEGAL. It is a package designed to be sold preinstalled on a PC by a manufacturer. I am not sure if it will pass a "validation test" when you try to run upgrades, but I do know that it would not be considered legal if you were to somehow be audited by the software police.

Aurel, you must have some idiot doing your installs. My clients and I routinely run XP and Office (all flavors) for years without either a crash or reinstall. Find someone that knows what they are doing!!!
