windows7keystore.co.uk

Prices seem to good to be true....anyone have any info in this site? It smells like a scam to me.

I am actually looking to buy a product key for "Windows 7 anytime upgrade- home premium to professional"

(sorry, cant post direct link to the website due to being new member, but just add the www. bit first;))

    Do you have the Anytime Upgrade link on the Netbook?

    To check:

    Open Windows Anytime Upgrade by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type anytime upgrade, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    Which programs? XP mode on a Netbook; not impossible but there might be a better way to approach it..
