Yes it is, or with someone who has purchased the components to build
a computer.
I could buy an OEM to go along with the system I built this past
year. It would only be valid with that system and could not be
transferred over to any other system.
Some guys have been buying OEM's to slap on anything they have, and
do not realize the restrictions that go with it.
However I think MS does not really care as it allows them to sell
more Vista's than they would otherwise.

Is this not the stuff that is supposed to be sold only with a computer?
