Having purchased many OEM copies of Windows 98 and XP in the past, I can
tell you David is correct. The vendor is obligated to sell a number of
components with the OEM disk/license. I usually bought a complete system,
but I think minimum is something like: motherboard, CPU, RAM, (and perhaps
hard disk).
