CL Ad: $30 for any version W7? Sound legit?

Would Linux work? I'll sell you a copy for $10, and I'm legit ;^)

Nice. Very nice. Even I KNOW that Linux is only $5, not $10. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a copy of W7 Pro; I want the auto backup capability. I own a copy of XP Pro; used it for many years. But for a HTPC, W7 just kills it in capability.

This can be downloaded from certain areas of the internet and works just fine. 1 DVD includes all versions of Win7 fully activated. Far from legal.

Yeah, I'm not messing with any illegal software. Besides, with any requires-activation-to-work software, it's just a matter of time before some "security update" digs thru the registry and finds that your copy isn't genuine...and your PC is a paperweight shortly thereafter.

Never heard back from the seller; go figure.
