OEM software generally comes in just a paper sleeve with little, if any documentation. Software support generally comes from the vendor you purchased it from, not the manufacturer.

Regarding tech support, you won't get any from M$ if you buy OEM. They will tell you to go to the equipment vendor for it.

Its the same software, but if you want support for the OEM version, you contact the vendor.... if you want support from Microsoft, be prepared to give your credit card number and pay per incident... meaning if you phone with two problems, you get billed twice for the one phone call.
