So, I'm looking to buy Windows 7 for my mac. I went searching online and there's so many choices to choose from. Fortunately, I know what I want and I specifically want the Home Edition 64-bit. However, I'm left with another option to choose: OEM or Complete Package. Both differ in prices. What's the difference? What's OEM?

Also, where can I get a reasonable great deal on Windows 7- with my specifications of course.

Buy the Windows 7 OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) System Builder's version. It includes both the 32 and 64 bit editions. It's a full install and should cost less than the Microsoft boxed version. NewEgg, Amazon, and Tiger Direct all sell Windows 7 discounted.
