Is this a pukka website? The old saying of 'if it seems to good to be true...' is causing alarm bells to ring in my head.

I've bought a copy of Windows from them and it was fine.

[Larry Dickman]

Yeah it's legit.

I brought Office Prof Plus & Windows 7 ultimate.

All puka software, although the Windows is an upgrade.

You can use the upgrade disc to do a fresh install

Do a clean install at boot without checking the Automatically activate Windows when I'm online box during the installation process.

When the installation is finished, then manually activate Windows 7 with your product key number.

Did some research and apparently a few univs recommend them. Just got office pro plus for £40 ish. Delivered in 2 days on 3 DVDs!

I bought Office 2010 Professional off them and it was exactly as you'd expect.

If you look at Microsoft's American website, you'll see that the really cheap deals they offer over here are basically the same as what Microsoft themselves offer directly to US students.

Great link. Thank you.

anyone know what would happen I if loaded onto three computers not 2?

or is there an u pgrade path to do this?

It would probably reject the licence and would stop working- the cheapest way I can think of getting it on three would be buying another copy from them as it will be cheaper than buying a single licence from Microsoft. Happy to be corrected on this though!

I just ordered a copy of Office from them yesterday and had the same thoughts at first. There is a link to them as a reseller fom Microsoft's website so I assumed they must be legit.

I've used them before but I find the RM Basement store offers practically the same range but can be even more competitive on pricing - http://www.rm.com/thebasement

Uni students can also order Windows 7 Professional direct from Microsoft for £30 and Office 2010 Academic for £49.99 - http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer...

Its good to have all this choice online, a few years ago getting cheap student software of the internet was harder and a lot more expensive.
