Hi

Has anyone come across **This link is selling software not even officially released by Microsoft yet, so i think we can consider it illegal - Edited by Abuse Controller ** ?

Have a look at their prices for downloadable software - I appreciate that this method of software delivery may be cheaper - But could it be this cheap?  e.g. Microsoft Office 2003 Professional for $69.95 ???

I am very tempted but maybe it's just a scam - I am a little reluctant to enter my credit card details.  They talk about a "60 day money back guarantee" and then go on to say all you have to do is contact their Customer Services Dept. However, I can't find any details on the website about how you might contact their CS Dept.

If it's real it would be great but I am inclined to be cautious - Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences?

mr_fishey

just had a look at the site,couldn't see any contact details at all. I'd avoid it at all costs if I were you

I've had a quick look as well - they are 2cheap aren't they.
Bargepole springs to mind - also, how do you return downloaded software?

Its 'cheap' cos its selling unlicenced, and plainly illegal, copies.

Yeh, they have MS Longhorn, I dont believe this has been released.

There are penty of ways to download unlicensed pieces of software without paying for them.

//Edit - I wish I could speeel

The sites sitting on a server in Russia, although, for some reason, I was probed from Hungary at a very relevant moment.
Site is non-secure, no encryption on the site, so your credit card details are wide open.
So do you really want to send credit card details to an unknown person in Russia?

Thanks for the comments and No, I don't think I do want to send my credit card details to an unsecure site in Russia.

I guess I was just being naive to even consider that it may be genuine. I suppose it's worth remembering the old adage....
