Where would you even report something like that ?

Microsoft ?

FBI ?

I assume from the price and from what he say's they are not original pressed dsic's but copies.

And the idiot even put his phone number in it!!

Yep i see that, i copied and pasted what he wrote in "Quotes"

I also have a screen cap of his post.

I haven't check out the full ad but what's the problem?

- Install with your key = no problem.

- Install witout your key = can't use it until you do!

I'd be hard pressed to think MS would go after that. Perfect case of buyer beware. Unless he's selling a keyless version or a version with stolen/copied keys, he's just perpetuating Windows. Oh, wait a minute ...

Well, considering he is selling disc's for $20.00 each, does it really matter if they are already hacked or with an activator, wep removal, etc, or you need to use a legit key.....
But even if they are copies that you need to use your own "legit key" with, at $20.00 a pop i am assuming they are burned copies on cdr or dvdr....



And i have not seen a listing like it for the same thing since it was taken down so....

And seeing as he stated, "can be installed with your key or WITHOUT ONE"


Hmmm.... i wonder if i can buy the Brooklyn Bridge or the Washington Monument for a good price ??
LOL!!!

I bet you can! I can broker the deal if you'd like.

Or just use Linux instead...

$25.00 you say ?

SOLD!!!!!!

LOL!!

That reminds me of the Beverly hillbillies episode where the one conman sells them the washington monument, and what was it, central park in new york for their own private hunting preserve, etc.

LOL!!

I don't want one, i just thought it was funny and pretty ballsy to be selling copies of Windows, i have seen other post's before where they even admit they are bootlegs that are hacked!!

Wanting $50.00+ and even saying how many hundreds they are saving instead of buying a legit copy!!


Just begging to get busted!!
LOL!!

At $170 (at Amazon.com) for Windows 7, I can see why I'm still using Windows 2000.

++ for W2K... good enough to run on almost any hardware setup but old enouugh to be forgotten...

My only real problem witn Windows 2000 is that it limits ones browser selections. As far as i know, the only current browser that will run on it is Opera. Not that I mind using Opera (I like it), but at some point even Opera might decide not to be that backward compatible.

Wow... almost 11 years behind!!!!!

I used to LOVE W98, tried 98SE and i went right back to 98 within a couple of weeks, tried 2000, went right back to 98...

LOL!!

Then i finally tried Vista, ran it for maybe a year, until W7 had been out for awhile, went to W7 and god am i glad to be Vista free!!!!!!!!

But i still run a second machine, 2.5 dual core with 3gb's of DDR2 ram with XP Pro 32bit.

But i still like XP Pro the best, or now that i have been running W7 64bit for quite some time, maybe it's just that i am sentimental as proven by how many years i have used 98 and XP past other newer OS's.....
LOL!!

[hech54]

XP Pro for me too. I liked 98SE over plain 98....but XP Pro has been bulletproof for me for years.
