I wouldn't do it if I were you guys. You know sites like that aren't quite up good things. If they are offering XP Pro w/ SP2 and Office Enterprise 07 for $80 then there has to be something fishy going on.

It's cheap because it's out of date.

Most likely it means you run counterfit license after buying there. AFAIK volume licensing is only allowed for a corporations, not to be sold out.

This smells a lot like when you search for programming software on eBay.  Oh you find really good deals, only to find out they are Student or Academic versions that require student ID or are lmited in function/upgrading.
