I got this sent into my email, and usually I just delete this kind of junk mail but this one got my attention... Photoshop 7 for $50?!? they claim they onlæy sell OEM versions is that legal? Has anyone here tried this kind of "deal"?

I'm curious... [img]smile.gif[/img]

No... :D
I think it`s a scam...or should i say spam. :D

Well I just bought Photoshop Pro 8 so they may be trying to unload 7. Still...if it looks like a scam then it probably is!

selling OEM's is perfectly legal and cheaper than the boxed counterpart. on www.overclockers.co.uk they sell windows xp pro for about £98 witch is about $60. then if you take of the price they add to make sure they rip off us brits it sounds like a real price to me [img]smile.gif[/img]

take note, OEM's have no box and very little manual. the key comes on just a sticker, and not on a hard thing so best to write it down in several places. if you know what your doing its great for a self build :D
