I'm sorry to say, but that cannot be legal, look at the prices of Adobe stuff! I am going to contact Microsoft about it and see what they say.

This has piracy written all over it. In the FAQ:

Quote:
What do I get when I order something from you?
You get the CD(s) with the software in an envelope. You also get the activation key, serial number or CD key necessary to activate the software. Note, that you will not be able to register the software with the manufacturer and get technical support.

Where does this software come from ?
The software is shipped from Eastern Europe.
I'd stay away.

I imagine activating it *legally* would be hard as well.

This vendor is not legal; I am removing the link and closing the thread more in the interests of preventing any person trying to buy the software from getting ripped off.

Importantly, it would be nicer if you verify the authenticity and legality of such vendors before posting unsolicited threads about such sites. Not only does it force the admin staff to unnecessarily look into such threads, but you are doing a disservice to your fellow community members who are going through the forums. There has to be a bit of responsibility on your part - this forum is not a clearing house for links to such sites.
