Thanks for pointing out about OEM.
I know about the meaning, but must anyhow have misused that formulation for a longer time.
But you know, some companies make OEM products that are never sold under their own brand.
So in that case talking about a rebrand isn't a correct formulation either
Philips and Panasonic used to have camcorders in the eighties, which neither of them produced themselves. But the company that produced them, didn't sell these cameras themselves.
So in that case it was difficult to talk about these video cameras as OEM, or as rebrand
And what about the Windows CD's that come with Laptops. They call it OEM version, while the CD is labeled with Dell or HP
From a hardware perspective OEM is correct, but from a software perspective OEM is wrong, as Microsoft is the OEM for software and not Dell or HP =)
The original Microsoft Windows comes in a nice big box. The OEM Microsoft Windows comes in a paper sleeve.
