  If you want to bypass.. look for cracks... but since it's an original, it would make no sense cracking it. The only way is to buy a new copy.
  
  An original can be reinstalled as many times as you want, as long as it's on the same PC.

  Once installed, MS will lock down all the registration details to the hardware. So if you try to activate it and your hardware specs is different, it will not work, and you will get the error as mentioned.
  
  Just go Hardwarezone and look at the price guides. 2007 is much more expensive than 2003.
  
  Box and OEM not much of difference, just the pricing. If you want a cheaper one... get the student/teacher edition or home/student edition. You have to prove that you are a student or teacher to get it...
