Yes, Windows server 2003 Enterprise normally sells for about $4,000, but most of that price is for the fancy box and manuals. Of course, Microsoft authorizes sale of that product for $60 for people who do not want the box or the manual.

Also, because they are located in Russia, they are able to get very good wholesale deals, as they are located so close to the companies like Microsoft that make the software.

There is absolutely no way that they are legit.

the irony is strong with this one :]

**izoot** · 11-14-2003, 11:22 AM

Smash and grab operation.

In addition to the ridiculous low prices they throw in free shipping, but they say to give it up to 6 weeks with this option ... Plenty of time to milk this thing and disappear.

How could anyone believe they would get 3900$ off a $4000 product?

What a sweet deal!!! I can't wait to give them my creditcard info. I might as well send them a picture of myself also.

I AGREE WITH JOHN... THIS IS A SCAM.

I can believe OEM versions of XP Professional for $60 per license, but not to the general public. Discounts of that size are reserved for the Dells and HPs of the world.

As far as the $60 price of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise goes. Well, it's just too bad to be good.

Something smells fishy and I don't think it's my feet.

That's not what OEM means .. OEM means "Original equipment manufacturerer" .. meaning, it's not an after-market product.

I guess it depends on the law where the seller lives.
For instance, to sell MS OEM software is perfectly legal in germany.You won't get free customer support or no support at all from MS but that's why OEM is much cheaper here than the normal versions.

So this offer could indeed be legit depending on the laws in Russia.

I would love to pay $ 60.00 for those softwares listed.

But, I am sure I will never see the merchandise.

There use to be a similar offer floating around. And, they
had a Las Vegas address. I am sure it was just
a mail drop.

I figured the Las Vegas address said "everything" about
your chance of seeing the merchandise.

**ReignDomain** · 11-15-2003, 10:49 AM

Tempting though

**peter** · 11-15-2003, 11:11 AM

I would NEVER do it

Send some people in russia money with my credit card info and they send me winxp for $60?? LOL

**namedropper** · 11-16-2003, 10:52 PM

People were doing (and may still be doing, they were still open a few weeks ago even though I reported it several months ago) the same with Adobe software. $25 for $750 packages, supposedly OEM without books or support. Someone I was talking to on the thread stupidly did it and actually got a product, but it was very clearly just an obviously low-skill pirated CD.
