A box as well. OEM is just the CD and the key. The box is pretty cool looking for Vista. But if you were to define a box as a rectangular prism, then its not really a box. More so an abstract squirvature of plastic and wow.

So neither have a box. But retail has paper inside. Paper describing in explicit detail how to click "yes" and "next" with a section on how to boot from the CD.

I wish I had a box.

Or a non box box.

So I wish I didn't have a box.

But I do.

I need to go to bed.
