Just because items are on sale in Malaysia and Signapore as OEM without
selling hardware doesn't make it Okie Dokie.

However...
This agreement can also mean any computer hardware ie: a mouse or cable 
and still qualify for a OEM. So by selling without hardware it is in
breach of the agreement but in Malaysia control is out of control and
nobody gives a shit and nearly all Pirate anyway.

And Malaysia and Singapore is the largest producer of Pirate Copies, 
there are probably more pirate copies sold than legit ones.
