Downloadable OS Site....For Real?

[jfespinoza]

I was checking out some of my junk mail, That's how I role. And I can across this site where you download the software and burn it to a DVD-Rom and then they e-mail your the Key. Is this real, or some scam? Windows Vista Ultimate is only $89.99

Looks like your answer is in your post.

Read this really really closely...

Why is the software so inexpensive?

We offer the software for downloading only, it means that you do not receive a fancy package, a printed manual and license that actually aggregate the largest part of the retail price.

Did you spot it???

Thats what OEM is for.

Yeah I knew it was OEM, every Windows I've purchased is OEM. But I read another article that windows is going to start selling Vista downloads and key out of there site too starting Jan 17th. But for the same OEM price as Newegg.com and such. Why would u wanna buy a download when you can get a hard copy from newegg for the same price?

So you don't have to mess with shipping and waiting and you can re-download at any time.

What is the most common Vista ran 64-32 Bit? And where is the cheapest spot to buy Vista? I have 4 gigs of ram going to waist right now with my 32bit XP.

I think you'd be best off sticking with Windows ME

That email stinks of scam. Vear far away from it (and delete the email please).

No it's not OEM. Hurshai was referring to the fact that you should buy an OEM license, not that the product for sale on the site you found was OEM.
The site says ("slightly" reworded):
You do not receive a fancy package.
You do not receive a printed manual.
You do not receive a license.

See the problem here?

I think he was referring to the blatant obviousness of the scam. The only legal download sites require membership fees, qualifications to meet, and microsoft.com in the URL.

For friggin sake it is a .cn domain....that SCREAMS scam on its own.

Not to mention the fact that it is download software, way too cheap, and on a product thats price is very much so controlled by its creator (MS).
