I just bought my first copy of windows in years - win 7 64-bit
ultimate. I got the OEM version.
Is there anything special I need to know about installing it?
not really, it installs fast and easy, much like Ubuntu 9.01
I would advise you to tell it not to activate automatically.. it will
ask you... you have 30 days. So if you want to do it over you don't
have to hassle with it again.
Can I
just pop in the disc and install/activate like normal?
yes
Do I need to
use the OEM preinstall kit?
not that I am aware of... what is that?... a compatibility test?
