Windows 8 OEM is the edition  which comes preinstalled on a computer. So when you buy a PC, the OS  edition that you’ll get is this one. The OEM has the same capabilities  as the Retail.RTM: “Release to Manufacturing”. Windows 8 RTM is an edition that is no  longer in the development stage, but not released to customers yet.RC: “Release Candidate”. Exactly what it means, this edition comes right  before the RTM. Different version of the RC are indicated by rc1, rc2  and so on.Retail: The final one, is the Retail. This edition is the same as the  OEM, but it’s not preinstalled and sold separately in a box, usually at a  higher price. You should buy it only if you have a computer that  doesn’t have any OS installed, maybe because you’re building it  yourself.Confusing? No, it isn’t, it’s technology.</blockquote>
