Issues? I don't see why there would be any issues. The only thing, I believe, is that you don't get any support from Microsoft with OEMs. But I mean honestly, do you really need it? :rolleyes:

The only other thing is that I think you can only install it a limited number of times, and only on one machine. (But from what I've read, many people have simply called Microsoft and explained the situation and got a new CD-key at no charge if something went wrong).
