All the software is OEM- Meaning that you don't get the box and the manual with your software. All you will receive is the actual software and your unique registration code.


This may be a bit of snag with MS, but it *looks* legit

I just ran a WhoIS on this domain name and it's registered in Russia. Also, if you read their FAQ page/Service Pack page, they mention that you MAY have DIFFICULTIES updating on the Microsoft website...they ask that you email them with your order number so you can 1) buy a CD with the proper service pack or 2) download the correct service pack from THEIR websites. Seems kind of sketchy to me.

Looks too good to be true -

Nope... these guys are definitely software pirates. I would stay far away from this site.

You might as well download the software from a pirate site, that's probably where these guys are getting it.

Their statement:

"... This software is recognized as a backup software ..."

Jeez ... :eek:
