You'll get it in a paper sleeve and a small manila envelope. I've ordered from them a couple of times (NSW) and always got the product. No shipping notification or DC and the packaging could be better but no broke CDs yet.Originally posted by: thaugen
Those Reseller Ratings for mostly higher priced stuff are scary. I may regret this, but I ordered Norton Systemworks 2003 for $9 shipped. Lowest price I could find anywhere.
Wait a minute Chester. I followed the link and saw this:
"CD & KEYCODE ONLY"
This lead me to believe that the one item that makes it a legitimate copy is not included and that would be the CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.

While the possibility is there that you're correct, I believe they're calling the COA a keycode. Not the first online store I've seen that uses that terminology for a COA.
What's really weird about this company is that they're offering the CD, booklet and COA
here for a higher price.
I believe if you wanted to take advantage of the posted deal, I'd take the time to make a phone call and ensure you're getting a COA.
Not true . . . it's gray-area for business but perfectly fine for home users.Originally posted by: petey117
without COA it is not a valid product....acording to MSFT selling thier software like this is illegal.....
might as well just get pirated software.....same difference

On the #9 web site they are selling XP pro COA for $79... This seems like a much better deal? I am confused here... Is the COA alone enough? help!
EDIT: OK I called them and this is just the certificate and cd-key (the COA has the CD-key stamped on it I guess). However, the #9 COA (Certificate of Authenticity) provided CD-key will ONLY work with the OEM version of Windows XP PRO installation CD. The standard Windows XP Pro installation CD (you know, the one you ripped from Kazaa or borrowed from a friend) will not accept this CD-key.
I am just looking to be legal as inexpensively as possible. It seems that this would do it, if I had the right installation media, which I don't.
This is legal as long as you have a legal key according to many legitimate websites:Originally posted by: SlushieKenI am just looking to be legal as inexpensively as possible. It seems that this would do it, if I had the right installation media, which I don't.
