Windows XP OEM question

[Guest]

I know I can get a copy of Windows XP Home DSP (OEM) for about $100.
However, I recently ran accross a site that claims to be selling windows XP
Pro OEM for $50! This seems a little fishy, if not illegal to me.

The website is http://www.qualityoemsoft.biz

If this is really legit, then dang! I've found a new supplier of operating
systems for cheap!

But I certainly don't want to get burned. Does anyone here have exprience
with this site or others claiming to sell OEM software really cheap?

If you look a little deeper you see it is sent by International Air
Mail, and if a little deeper still from somewhere in Eastern Europe.
Draw your conclusions.

Actually, if you were to clicked the links provided and then read
the site's self-contradictory,broken English "FAQ," you'd probably
have known it was a scam. Full OEM CDs that are full retail versions
that are legal as backup media? Shipped from eastern Europe? All CDs
shipped with the serial number included in a text file? Definitely
not legitimate CDs.

Those people who have reported back here after making purchases
from several of such web sites have
indicated that what they actually received was a copy of the
widely-known-to-be-pirated Volume Licensed version of WinXP Pro. They
couldn't even install SP1 without being informed that the had an
invalid Product Key.
