Where do you see it for $250? I see it for $180.

Anywho I'd be cautious, find a site that's trusted unless you get some positive feedback here. It's really horrible that we have to be cautious of these places because of stupid people trying to get your money illegally, It's really sad that the internet has come to this.

If you are going to buy OEM software, go to a shop so that you can examine the merchandise before you purchase it. Remember what I always say; Trust No-one!

Is it bare basic becasue its OEM? Because I can get OEM stuff like Harddrives and they come without a box and cables.

OEM OS packages usually do not provide for performing an upgrade install which full retail versions make available in addition to a full system install.

The upgrading advantage to those who like them is that they preserve your existing application and hardware setups and only install newer drivers, etc. if appropriate.

<Edit>

Also.... many pirated copied are masqueraded around as OEM versions of legit retail merchandise.

That's a good point, and that's why MS are offering "free" versions of Windows to people who purchased PCs with pirated copies. It is their hope that by doing so they can track down the companies who are selling pirated software.

Para - Am I included? Well that's up to the individual .

Remeber what Esquilax said TRUST NO ONE! it's got to be a scam or a really stupid company

Check the Better Business Bureau to see if that company has recieved any complains agaisnt them.

Why not just call the Microsoft piracy department and verify if they have that site listed as a distributor?

I checked the Whois Database.

until i get the money for a long-distance call, im staying away from them

You should travel to Indonesia if you want cheap software. People have told me (possibly in jest), that you can walk into a computer shop and buy pirated software off the shelf. It could just be a rumour though . Still, it would explain that "cheap" copy of Server 2003 that an associate of mine picked up a couple of days after the program was officially released...

That, I can testify with my own eyes, is true. The most luxurious mall in my city has one such shop. It's not shady business done in dark seedy alleys. Those genious crackers in Singapore, Taiwan, and China and Russia can cleave open anti-piracy locks on any cd in matter of days.

don't know much about history, don't know much about the french i took, and i know even less about any of the tech stuff on this sight, what i do know is always look a gift horse in the mouth and never bet on a sure thing. i have the pleasure of taking money off people for a living and i'll gaurentee that if you see an advert that sounds too good to be true --- it's not true

of course the gaurentee i'll give you is worthless.

seriously though, be very, very careful buying from anywhere if you are not sure. i got some electronic gear in malaisya, some of it still works....sort of! nothing worse than the sting your ego takes when you know you've been had.
