Delivery takes 6 weeks and it's from a foreign country?

You are aware that after 4 weeks Visa will not let you contest a foreign country purchase?

Hehe good scam site.

Agreed, even though this is completely counterfit, he does a good job of playing off that oem software can't be registered and such, and on top of that the site design isn't too bad at all.

Last time I was at the swapmeet two of the software guys were selling OEM stuff, one had a stack of genuine MS Office XP bare CDs for I think $14 each, and the other had a Dell OEM XP install disc with a taped on note saying he also had full install CDs. I skipped on the Office since I use Star office which is free and totally legal, but asked the other guy about the full XP Pro install CDs (I already have one of the Dell CDs that puts a semi legal copy of XP without the need for a key on any Dell made in the last few years). The guy shows me a CDR with a hand written Key on the plain paper envelope, and tells me its a Corporate XP Pro installer which doesn't require authorizing and comes with a text file of 20 valid keys for $20. Could this be legal, I mean if some big company buys XP, don't they have to buy in "chunks of like 500 or 5000" where its likely they will have "leftovers"? Even if it isn't entirely legal do these things work (assuming its not just a blank CD etc.)?

Sending money out the country without some protection, ie ebay seller with lots of 100% positive feedback, is nuts.

Hah. Yeah, sure thing. Someone should email them and say that you tried downloading SP1 from MS, and it said that your IP was being traced for software piracy.

Yes, it is totally legal for some guy that is not a corporation to be selling software that was liscenced to a corporation.... I'm never sarcastic either.

It's asses like these that make software prices go through the roof and makes piracy protection total overkill.

No, it's not legitimate. The legitimate list of 20 serials that Microsoft sends out with XP comes etched on the back of a Genuine Rolex watch. You can find these Rolexes with the serial numbers on them for around $20 on the Streets of New York.

TAKEN FROM THIER FAQ!!!

What do I get when I order something from you?
You get the CD(s) with the software in jewel case and labels. You also get the activation key, serial number or cd key necessary to activate the software so it work. Note, that you will not be able to register the software with the manufacturer and get their support, but we will do our best to support you any way possible. This includes providing different updates and service packs. However some updates will still be available from manufacturers, in fact most of them.

Quoted from the discount tab of the web-site:

" CD Cheap offers big discounts if you buy in quantity. We offer 30% discounts on all orders that exceed $2000.00 and paid by Western Union. More to that. We will give free express shipping on these orders and provide the buyer with all the tracking information. For instance if you total order exceeds $2000, the price for one copy of Windows XP Professional will be only $35.00. This is amazing as no one else can offer you these incredible prices. We are staying at the top of our competitors.

Just imagine. You can open your own store in your area or on the internet or become a reseller. Any of these will bring you big profit."

Man at these prices I could be rich in no time!!!! LOL.

So you all don't think there is some chance these might be the extra leftover unused CD keys from some corporate purchase? (not the Russian dupes, the much more legitimate swapmeet CDRs).

For some reason screwing MS doesn't feel "wrong", more like part of a big game where they screw me as often as possible, and once in a while I get away with some tidbit.

companies *DO* often have leftover spare keys or whatnots...

sometimes they even have leftover spare CDs if they bought separate software packs. I remember my high school sometimes still had sealed copies of expensive stuff that they just never had to use, like Photoshop.

And don't forget, if the software gets outdated the companies and schools usually don't sell it...so most likely a lot of large corps still have licenses for like 3000 copies of office 97. I don't think there's upgrade pricing for such bulk purchases from MS is there?

Like is there a corporate XP bulk upgrade if you already had like corporate NT or something? I don't actually think there is due to the pain in the ass nature of using upgrades on such a large scale operation...but I might be wrong.

But at any rate even if they upgraded from say Office 2000 to XP, and they upgraded to 2000 from 97(say, can you upgrade an upgrade of an upgrade? I never tried) doesn't that free up the old 97's? I'm not too clear on how MS' licensing deals with this, but maybe it doesn't bother because nobody in their right mind would care to use office 97.
