Just beware that this is not authorized software. Most of the MS XP products need to be activated, which may be risky.

That tells you right there that it's pirated.

Maybe it would be wise for you to go back to your seat in the audience, sit down, listen and learn some more and then try again after seeing how Hot Deals works. While we all welcome participation in the forums, we'd like to keep the deals hot. Use your best judgement when posting what appears to be a hot deal, particularly when there is some gotcha to it.

Guys, assuming the site delivers what's promised, these deals are smoking hot.

An OEM software product will not be eligible for support from the manufacturer - that's normal. You are supposed to receive support on it from the Original Equipment Manufacturer - the company that sold or packaged the hardware your software came with.

The software copies are possibly being sold outside of a valid agreement with the manufacturers, but if they work and can be activated, who here really has a beef with that? Few, from the posts I've seen.

Now, true, it's a gamble to buy from any unknown company, but nothing about the deals, per se, should throw up a red flag.

Thanks for the effort, all the same, Samurai.

Edit: BTW, it probably is too good to be true, just not based soley on the OEM deal, that's all I'm arguing here. The Eastern European location would make me extremely wary of passing a credit card. And the prices are just TOO good.

HOT if you like to gamble.

Fishy? This goes without saying. It's shipped from "Eastern Europe," which means these are pirated Russian copies. You'll get a CD-R, which assuming it even works, is pirated. By the time you complain, they are a world away, nowhere to be found...along with your money.

Simple as that. If it seems too good to be true, it IS.

If you download the software and a keygen, you get exactly what those pirates are selling. And both are equally illegal.

If anyone is dumb enough to give these Russian pirates their credit card number, they deserve to be ripped off.

Would that be your fellow colleague who is burning the CD's, or would that be the one who is packing and shipping them?

Autodesk Autocad LT 2004 $99.95
Retail price: $5600.99
Our low Price: $99.95
You save: $5500

I can order the fully legal of AutoCAD LT 2004 from numerous, respectable online companies for $700. A full version of AutoCAD 2004 (not the light version) doesn't even cost near the $5600 this site is claiming.

Secondly, there is no way in the world that AutoCAD would ever be considered or shipped as OEM software.

It'd be cheaper to use Kazaa or E-Donkey and burn the CD yourself, you run less risk of your credit card being misused.

Pun unintended...I just got a chuckle from the red flag comment
