719739 2008-11-12 05:47:00 Does anyone know of any problems that may occur when purchasing oem software, in particular concerning Windows Vista? I am looking into buying a copy of home premium off either playtech.co.nz or ascent.co.nz, as I have delt with both before, and both were excellent. davidmmac (4619)
