| I don't know who/what thread you refer to. In general, there are two distribution channels for Money. Retail and OEM. Retail is license you go buy at the store or, worse for purposes of reinstallation at a later date, by online download. The second channel is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). These licenses are bought in bulk by computer manufacturers (CompaqHP/Dell/Gateway/Sony...) for pennies apiece and are then bundled with PCs they sell. The prime way the OEM licenses differ is that they tend not to come with standalone installation CDs and the OEM is supposedly responsible for end user support, not Microsoft. This latter difference is pretty synthetic since Microsoft doesn't provide all that much real support besides how-to anyway and the OEMs largely shirk the responsibility besides. Without knowing the context of what you are responding to, I hope this answer helps.

| I installed trial version of MM 2007 Delux from the web. I bouhght full version MM 2007 Delux via Amazon and I am waiting for delivery. You often use the term "retail" Now I am considering if I bought the correct product. I was written Microsoft Money 2007 Delux. What does "this retail" mean? -- JerzyMarian |
