Office 2003 OEM (not an advert)

[CJ]

Hi

I've seen the Pro version of Office 2003 online for $60. This seems
incredibly cheap, even for an OEM verson. Anything I need to be wary of?

Thanks.

SCAMS, pirates and "No valid Keys" are a few of the things you are
likely to be facing. If you got $60 you don't need, donate it to the
local charity of your choice instead.

this is what I found on that site FAQ

What do I get when I order something from you?
You get the CD(s) with the software in jewel case and labels. You also get
the activation key, serial number or cd key necessary to activate the
software so it work. Note, that you will not be able to register the
software with the manufacturer and get their support, but we will do our
best to support you any way possible. This includes providing different
updates and service packs. However some updates will still be available from
manufacturers, in fact most of them.


Sounds illegal to me russian cds = probable piracy

Just my thought
