OEM Packs

[BioSpark]

I've been reading the forums and noticed that a lot of people have a ton of OEM CD's for reinstalls, etc. Where does everyone get their mass collection? Do you just collect as you go, or did you buy them from some where wholesale? I've been looking to invest in some but as far as I can find, their individual CD's, not just OEM packs.

Thanks!

Oem stuff

One way to obtain install media is to join up as a Microsoft partner and get the action pack subcription think its like 300 or 350 a year and you recieve oses trial sofware also licences for your use you also get new update discs regularly
not bad for what you get
Hope this helps some

I used to see online vendors selling xp installation disks for $100 but you had to buy a mouse for example. they were typically a $5 mouse. it was to keep in compliance with microsofts rules.

It's not but it's unlikely MS will ever call you on it as you're in the trade and as long as you stick to using the customers legit key.

Assuming the dl isn't infected which it likely is.

well yeah you have to be carefull but often files have comments and feedback i read first if there is dodgy voodoo people will have discovered it and complained about it.
