    Need Windows 7 myself. Did you buy? That site looks a bit dodgy to me, could be wrong though. I'd say it would be very easy to buy "bad" software. Even Amazon has some suspicious listings.

    Looks a bit dodgy. No contact page, .org TLD, "Powered by Windows 7 Product Key Windows 8 Key" on the footer, no SSL/HTTPS encryption, very very generic logo and hidden WHOIS protection set off alarm bells. Could be sending users to a phished "PayPal site" or attempting to get people's credit card details unsuspectingly. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

    If you are buying a lot of licenses Microsoft do have a volume license scheme.

    Right folks removing the link to the site because as mentioned above it is likely dodgy and possibly selling stolen or illegal keys. Plenty of people sell MSDN keys cheap which is against Microsofts terms & conditions. I'm sure they could block such keys at some stage so buying them may even be a false economy.
