By mistake. I tried to look up what it is, but I couldn't really understand what the difference is between COEM and OEM. Does it matter? I think I can still change the order if I have to.

Another 'interpretation' I found was 'Commercial' OEM, which might fit the Reseller situation better, but little actual info on it. Can't see any problems in your using it, especially if you 'support' yourself...

Looks like it has to do with the level of Support, but as an OEM you are expected to provide your own support, so it makes little difference! This might hlp...

It's the System Builder edition by the way. Can this disc even be both SB and COEM if it's ordinarily being sold by companies that supply their own computer systems? It seems odd.
