There are rules for selling oem hardware the same way there are for selling
oem software. In reality, it's supposed to be built into or sold with a
system and not sold alone.
There are ways around it that MS allows, and ways they don't approve of.
Chances are the store got a warning letter or something from MS and they're
being a little extra careful.
