Is this legitimate? Or could I be buying illegally copied
software? I got this email the other day directing me to
this web site offering oem XP Professional for 39.95. Does
this sound legitimate? They say by offering only the
software and registration code with no manuals it allows
them to price the product so low.

Greetings --

No, it's not likely to be "legit." The most obvious clue, besides
the too-good-to-be-true pricing, found in the FAQ, is: "The software
is shipped from Eastern Europe."

"Note, that you will not be able to register the software with the
manufacturer and get their support"

Hmmm that little quote alone from there FAQ tells me its a really good
chance its not legit.

That and the fact it is shipped from Europe.
 
Also the domain is registered to someone in Russia. Also there order page
is unencrypted. Site is just screaming give me your credit card so a hacker
or us can rob you blind. Site has only been registered for 11 days, sounds
like a major fly by night operation to rip cheapskates off with pirated
products, and harvest credit card numbers for later.
