Exactly WHAT KIND of MS Windows will pass inspection at Genuine Ad

[Guest]

I know, the illegal stuff will not. Not my issue.

1- Will DSP pass ?
2- Will OEM pass ?
3- Which retailers are 100% guaranteed to sell me legit Windows ? Ebay is
full of people selling Windows.

Thanks for your time in advance.

I've just completed 18 workstations with XP Prof OEM purchased from a
systems builder in Ohio.

I have also done several from my Action Pack subscription without a
problem.

I have also validated several of my MSDN Universal without problem.

3- Which retailers are 100% guaranteed to sell me legit Windows ? Ebay is
full of people selling Windows.

If you are not buying it from a location you can visit, then it's your
risk.

You should purchase your software from a reputable company
or a local software retailer. Do not purchase your software
"used" or from auction-type web sites!

Example of a good, reputable, online retailer:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional With Service Pack 2 - OEM

Microsoft Windows XP HOME Edition With Service Pack 2 - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102151

Yes.

2- Will OEM pass ?
Yes.

3- Which retailers are 100% guaranteed to sell me legit Windows ?

Major chains. Long established local independent retailers (like me).

Ebay is
full of people selling Windows.

eBay can be a snake pit. You need to be very cautions, especially
when the vendor is in a different country.


Good luck
