Just come across this web site that has Microsoft Office 2007 full retail
on sale selling for $163.90 nz. This seems awfully cheap to me even the
full price shown seams cheap has anyone done busness with this firm?

There are a few dodgy sites out there like that. They use NZ URLs but
they're based in China (and possibly ther places). You'll get a very
professional looking forgery that almost certainly won't work when you
try to authenticate it online after you install it.

Well, I'll soon find out just ordered a copy - paid by paypal so I should
be able to retrieve any money if it is a pirated copy, but I hope it isn't.
Just built a new computer and using Widows 7 64-bit so would like some new
software to go with it

So unstich it and do it again. People want good seams on their clothes.

As Ms Office twenty ten is not in beta, one has to wonder if, at last market
forces are Governing. In that the old stock is being sold off, before the
new version arrives in store.

It ptrobably does not nreed authenticating. It probably does not
present you with a EULA to tick off. Swap two characters of the
product key and it probably be accepted. But once you use it for a
little while with 'uodates' enabled it will probably suffer from the
black screen syndrome.

People were bringing bogus Office 2003 and Photoshop into NZ a few
years ago and hocking them on Trademe. One trader 'banned' me, then a
bit later another trader appeared out of the woodwork selling dubious
software. Tried to ask a question and found I was banned there as
well.

Why on earth would you be purchasing software on Trademe instead of going directly to the
developers?
