Now I'm running Win 8.1 OEM Builder. Should I continue to run this version as I'm in violation of Windows license agreement ?
Here's the link to the story I got in my Email.
Microsoft is Misleading Consumers With Windows 8.1 System Builder Licensing
"If you’ve purchased a “System Builder” OEM copy of Windows 8.1 from Amazon, Newegg, or another online retailer, you’re probably violating the Windows license agreement. That means you technically have a “non-genuine” copy of Windows.
Microsoft is misleading consumers here. This was a problem in the past, so Microsoft fixed the licensing problem in Windows 8. But — surprise! — they’re back to their usual tricks with Windows 8.1."
