Linux Mint Debian Edition Is Getting Support for OEM Installations with LMDE 7

It's nice to see that their Debian edition isn't being neglected. If I were to use Linux Mint, that's the edition I would want.
What is a OEM installation? Like, I get it's for OEMs but how is it different?
- The OEM install option allows you to customise your installation a bit. Upon first boot the user sets up their account and user name and they're good to go.
  
  It's like buying a new laptop and setting up Windows upon first boot. Just less shit.
  
  That's what I thought. I always wondered why that's not the default. I've built some stuff for other people and I have to set it up for them along with the install...
- Maybe including something like Windows' OOBE; rather than defining a user before installing?
In other words an edition of Linux mint is finally getting a feature Ubuntu has for every variant, good for them I guess?
