Default Is Euro Software legit for MS Office purchase?

I found a website that is offering downloads of MS Office Pro 2007 for only
$69.95. (and similarly low prices on other products) Is this legitimate?
Will I have a valid, supported version if I buy this? Or is this some kind
of scam? Their address is NYC, but their grammar is not quite American. The
web site is: http://software-4-you.com/item/?id=1965

I've been out of work for a while and can use the low price, but I don't
want to end up with pirated software or someone stealing my identity.

No it is not legit. You need to buy from Microsoft Website or from
Amazon. all others are dodgy and they are selling dodgy software.

Remember what your parents told you, if is sounds too good to be true, it
probably is. No legitiamte sites except for those authorized by Microsoft
(Digital River, Dell, Etc.) offer software for download, and especially =
for that sort of price. Trust your instincts.

If you can't afford MS Office, then use Open Office. O any older version of
Office you may own.

there is another way to get office07 without the price tag. Go to your
internet search, mine is mozilla and type in mininova and then download
the utorrent.


And NO version of MS Office downloaded by torrent will be a) legal and b)
safe.

Gordon i beg to differ on that, my download passed all the checks and
is working fine. i have been told that you can get trojens but ,touch
wood , i haven't i have even installed it onto my laptop with the same
key and that is working fine.By law microsoft was unable to stop this
from happening because the bit com program takes pieces from each
computer connected to it and so it is not pirating a program.


Ya, right. You are a pirate, end of story.

eye eye captain, tell me what is wrong with doing it this way



Because it's ILLEGAL that's why. Using a torrent to download software you
have to PAY for is stealing.

World Software/Euro Software is a scam site:

http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php/Euro_Software

I ordered "RadioShift" for macs software from them. The retail was $29
and they had it for $19 - I ordered it (they added a $6.50 "transaction
fee" and sent me a zipped file with the following Read Me file:


1. extract archive "Radioshift.zip"

2. install and use this info
Name: Anak Sholeh
Code: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (x'd out by me)

3. If program ask to online registration, click "No" or "Skip". You
dont need online register.
All update are available.

****
1. It's an old version
2. It's NOT my name
3. When you do update to the current version, the software is rendered
unusable.

These sites are scams & thieves!

Who knows what they are trying to do with my credit card number now!
Yes, I have called my Visa Card bank - and reported the software theft
to the software creators.
