Johnston Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 http://computingland.com Has anyone had any experience with that site or can anyone tell me if that site is trustworthy and safe to purchase the software off, as i wouldnt mind buying the xp pro for only $80... And also its an OEM version, will that serial work with the xp pro retail cd, or the xp pro rc2 image i can download of windowsbeta or is the oem xp pro cd dif to the retail xp pro cd? Also is there a difference between the vlk and just xp pro cd's, is the vlk one like corporate edition? Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Doesn't seem legal. Legit might be but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_ Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Yeah... sometimes it's hard to find a legal and ligit OEM store online... Try Newegg, they have good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumdefect Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 It looks pretty legitimate, but it has no physical contact information available so I wouldn't use it if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted June 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2004 the order page isn't secure or encrypted.'nuff said If you go to the order page in firefox and change the http to a https, you get a error about the site trying to authenticate with a certificate with the url localhost.localdomain instead of computerland.com. That's from the ms sdk, it's only meant for in-house use :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
