OEM...

Are you sure about that? I have never encountered a COA sticker out of hundreds and hundreds I have used that had had a retail key. Perhaps one of us is mixing up some terminology.

If you go and buy from your supplier the OEM version of XP, you'll get the OEM CD and a COA sticker, correct? By COA stickers I mean the sticker on the side of the case / bottom of laptops which I'm sure is the correct term...

If the key included with retail XP is also a "COA" sticker that could explain this confusion. I'm not sure about that as I have actually never bought a retail version.
