I have been told by a "professionally trained" computer salesperson that the "for Windows" sticker means that the printer needs a very special kind of RAM that only Windows machines have - thats why it cannot be used under Linux. Something like this confuses the typical user, which brings me directly to the second described tactic.
These tactics are usually gathered under the synonym "FUD" (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) and were used by IBM long before Microsoft unconvered them. The idea is clear: If you make someone uncertain enough, he or she will not dare to make any decission, effectively remaining in his or her current position. That is the thought.

How to solve that problem? Lets go further.
Often there is a necessity to explain briefly to the buyer, what is OEM software versions and how they can be got. The information on the given page contains the key information which can be used in such purposes. In many cases it will be sufficient for the buyer.
Software can be delivered together with a computer in the form of preinstalled version. Such versions of products intended for delivery together with hardware maintenance, refer to as OEM-versions of products.
What products are accessible in the form of OEM-versions?
It is necessary to note, that for desktop operational systems Windows Vista and Windows XP, OEM-versions are practically unique economically justified way of purchase of full versions of desktop operational systems as in corporate licensing delivery lacks full versions (updates only), and full box versions obviously have higher price. Thus, purchase of a new computer with installed OEM-version of desktop operational system Windows is the most preferable.
Unlike the box products having colourful packing, OEM-versions have technological packing from a cardboard of brown color. Inside of technological packing, depending on a product and a variant of delivery it can contain 1 or 3 separate OEM-licenses for the software.
