I was thinking about picking up an OEM copy of Windows Me full version. Some of the pricwatch adds have it for a reasonable amount without purchasing $400 of hardware along with it! I've done the OEM hardware thing, but not OEM software. Any tradeoffs and or pitfalls between OEM ME and the retail version? What about startup off a clean hard drive? The Win98FE (current OS) disk I have is bootable. Same thing for WinMe or will I need a WinME startup disk? The reason I ask is most of the adds indicate CD + pretty certificate of authenticity, but no startup disk.
