It is a legal license in case of Microsoft Products. The license certificate you get with it clearly specifies that.
The only part you don't have is microsoft support. Company that sold it has to do the support. Thats why they are called DSP and not OEM but for most the term OEM is better known.
As mentioned, as they are officially sold in stores, they definitely are legal (switzerland is no eastern country or the like :) )
Its just that many don't offer it to make more cash from stupid users.
So if you buy a vista at 600 USD, most of it goes into the phone support, not for Vista for example
My 3 WinXP Pro licenses are valid free licenses from MS directly, so I don't care about it. my 2 Vista Business licenses are not used and I wouldn't touch the 64bit ones of both even with a 10 ft pole.
