    I found this link for some comopany that sells s/w. The prices are suspiciously low and their modus operandi is ever fishier. They let you download all the software you buy and there's nothing shipped. Is this thing for real ? I mean, are they selling valid copies of the s/w ? Its so low I'm tempted to buy a couple of licences for myself (provided its legal) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

    Unlikely. (Eh, capitalism 24/7, and people still believe "opportunity" means a conveniently low price.) Idea: Contact the software makers support, and ask them if they are a valid source.

                  Also note that the creation date is very recent and the zip code is invalid so I would certainly not risk doing business with a "company" that intentionally hides its contact information.

                    I heard from someone on IRC that it has also made a bunch of spam lists. I think these guys are a bunch of dirtbags. Maybe I should report them to MS, "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
