mindless728 is right that it really doesn't matter, though I prefer Newegg as well. At least with Vista, they would once in a while have $20 off coupons if you subscribed to their newsletter... And yes, you want OEM if you don't mind providing your own support. Only go full Retail if you want MS support or want to move the OS from computer to computer. (The OEM doesn't allow that.)
