I have always done OEM so I am not sure what retail provides. Also if you want to transfer the OEM license just call them and say you had to replace a dead hard drive.

Is there any reason not to buy the OEM version of Windows 7 from Amazon and install in as a virtual OS on my Linux laptop?

Amazon just says that the OEM version will not receive any MS support (which I have never used), and I can't transfer the license to another computer, which I don't care about.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Mark
