According to the Software & Information Industry Association Anti-Piracy FAQ, OEM software is illegal when not used in acordance with the software license
It isn't possible to generalise but OEM versions of Microsoft software are sold at a discount and licensed only for the machine with which they are sold. I believe, but am not certain, that they can continue to be used on that machine if the ownership of the machine and the software both pass to the same new owner.
xlhelp,
All (not just OEM) software is illegal when not used in accordance with its licence.
Enjoy,
Tony
