This is an OEM. You guys remember -blam!-ing about activation rules? You'll get to in real life if you buy this.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but I'm running XP Pro OEM and every single pc I've ever built/worked on uses an OEM version of windows, and the only difference in the OEM and the Retail version is that the Retail version gives you the big box, which apparently makes it cost twice as much. Don't be afraid to purchase the OEM version of Vista.
*EDIT*
Oh and also, you have to find the copies of Vista manually through the software --> operating systems --> microsoft --> ect. They do have one 64bit version available, although it is Vista Basic, and I've read about your distaste for this version so I decided not to link it.
