Downloadable Windows?

aboynamedmatt · 05-18-2005, 02:35 AM

Hey guys, I was searching the internet for some good prices on a Windows XP Pro edition and came across this link. www.softweight.com It has downloadable versions of Windows XP Pro for 50 bucks, but it seems kinda sketch to me. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of doing that before and whether or not its worth it.

It can't possibly be legit, $59.95 for Exchange Server Professional 2003? I know you asked about WinXP but there's no way.

I don't see why not, if you read their section on FAQ i think ulll see that it is legit.
the bad thing is that u wont be able to get technical support from the manufacturers...
the good thing is that u can save up to 300$.

Weather it comes with a manual or not, you can't buy an exchange server liscense for $60

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. In this situation we are restricted in selling the products for private purposes only! You will not be able to get a technical support and different rebates from the manufacturer. Updates are available for the most of our products (you may ask our support staff for the exceptions) that make them fully functional and operating. Additionally you save the delivery cost.

The manual, package and printed license can't be worth the discounts (the big price tags are for the license, the 'right' to use the software). A few of these packages I understand using for personal use but Windows 2003 Enterprise Server or Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise? Neither of these are 'personal' operating systems. I think they must be selling unlicensed(illegal) software, but you can make your own choice.
