> All the software is OEM- Meaning that you don’t get the box and the manual with your software. All you will receive is the actual software and your unique registration code.
sounds a little fishy to me…i would check out [http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/](http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/) to see ways to check if it’s pirated or not.

> "How can you sell this software so cheap? It seems to good to be true - is there a catch?
There is no catch - the software versions that we sell are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) which means you will receive the installation CDs only (they do not come in their original retail packing and do not include the manual). We do guarantee that all programs are the 100% full working retail versions - no demos or academic versions! When you order, you will receive all materials required for a complete installation - or your money back! Why pay hundreds dollars more when you can get exactly the same but cheaper? You don’t have to pay that much for the fancy box and manuals.
This software is recognized as a backup software."
backupsoftware is useally copied.

fester, I’ll burn it for 40 😉 lol
That’s all scam. I’ve received that many times 🙂 And plus OEM software does not mean no-box-no-manual, it has nothing to do with that.

Speaking of beer I took pictures of my house and the disgisting mess that was created over an entire week of ALCS and then the weekend
I have never had so many empty miller light bottles in one location at the same time.
I will post when I get them developed.
