   I was on Ebay and they have an OEM version, never been opened, of win7. Is it safe to buy this? Will it work? Will it expire after a year?

   Here is a link to summary of what you can and can not do with the OEM version:

   One big difference from earlier versions of Windows OEM System Builder licenses is that you are not permitted to purchase and install it on your own computer.
