[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1422905, member: 24098"] You can use either OEM or retail. It doesn't matter. Technically, OEM is supposed to be installed on a new PC - and when it is, the license is tied to that hardware (in other words, you can't install it on any other piece of hardware). So, if you wanted to try it first on a virtual machine (like in VMWare Fusion or Parallels) and later opted for Boot Camp, you might have some trouble with product activation. But I don't think it's a showstopper either way. [/QUOTE]
