0 n_K Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Still selling windows XP, I would say fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mystic Mungis Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah I doubt its real, if something seems too good to be true then it usually is and like n_K said it still sells XP which is almost impossible to find with a valid licence key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 imachip Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Domain is registered to someone in Sweden. Also their building is not showing them as a registered business in Google. These aren't definitive reasons but strongly indicates that although the keys may work, they aren't doing it legally. I'm not from the US so I can't suggest a better source, however I doubt you can get much of a discount on MS software unless you're a student or in education.

0 stormchaser2010 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Figures...is there a place where I can buy just the key, I have a Windows 7 disk, but all I would need to purchase is a key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mystic Mungis Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Figures...is there a place where I can buy just the key, I have a Windows 7 disk, but all I would need to purchase is a key? The keys aren't supposed to be sold separately but there are a few places that supposedly sell them although I've never dealt with them. If your doing a clean install then just buy an OEM version as it's a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do a clean install? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/productID.216644200 it will work, however to get that price you need to be a student of a registered university.

0 Starbuck84 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/home ? Or go to a store and get a OEM key like HeroicOcean suggested. Always, and I repeat, always be careful with those websites. I've seen to many people getting scammed buying Windows keys on-line. They pay the money, install their OS and after a while the message 'you've been a victim of piracy' (translated from Dutch) appears. Ye be warned! :-) goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
