Default I learned something about OEM WIndows today...
I guess the ONLY way you can pluck a license off an OEM copy is via defective motherboard (mostly common knowledge).
The condition is that it has to be identical OR a warranty replacement. If you cannot find either of those 2, the license is technically invalid.

Oh and anyone that wants to downgrade, OEM you have to find your own key/media. VLK they supply media and keys for you.
I might buy a VLK license for that reason alone...
Too bad it costs $187USD for Vista Business (per).

This is basically verbatim from NCIX Forums by me :)
