Vista on EBAY

[sarah_louise]

Vista Home Premium is selling on EBAY at about �67.
It says Guaranteed Original Shrink Wrapped, Licensed etc...
Why do I feel that this is too good to be true

Is it the OEM version? Like this one:

If it's not the oem version then be careful because it does sound very underpriced. Maybe they got a copy free and are selling it on or something.

Hi sarah. It does sound like an OEM version. But, as mikey says, i does sound a bit suss. I am running Vista Ultimate that i bought from the shop. I saw the eBay ones and i still bought from the shop for peice of mind. btw... If it is dodgy, Vista needs reactivating every 6 months! So if its ok now, it might not be very soon. And yes, it CAN de-activate itself. Microsoft know if more than one person is sharing a key by how many time an update is downloaded. But, im not saying its not legit. Just tread carefully.

Sorry I should have said, this was a reply to asking if it was limited version software
