OEM versions of office?

I've seen a couple of posts in the Windows newsgroups where the poster has
said that their machines came with Office pre-installed. Is this possible? I
wasn't aware that there were OEM versions of office.....

Hi Gordon,

If you compare the same product suite in an OEM (pre-installed) Office product with the same retail product the primary differences
are

(a) Pre-installed editions are licensed to a single machine and aren't transferrable, while Retail ones are allowed on two
machines and can be transferred to another machine.

(b) For questions on the pre-installed product, the PC supplier rather than MS would be the first stop.
