I paid $78. 99 to this knucklehead for counterfeit software. According to MicroSoft, the product key has already been used. Contacted seller, at which point he asked me to send the product back. I’m not wasting anything more to ship product back to a crook (Amazon and the crook already fooled me once). Very disappointed that Amazon would not screen for crooks, or take an active role when a crook is discovered. After thousands of dollars in purchases from Amazon I’ll now have to think twice about future purchases.

It installed fine, but the installation/license code was a fake. It would not be verified by Microsoft which does not allow you to install or upgrade certain programs. I had to buy a license code from Microsoft. It would have been cheaper to buy a copy directly from Microsoft.

I had to reinstall Windows XP after my child’s computer crashed. You can’t find Windows Xp in the stores anymore. The price I paid was excellent and it was in a brand new sealed package. I would not recommend buying XP used if you are planning on registring it, especially if product has already been registered.

AMAZON, PULL THIS PRODUCT FROM YOUR LINE UP!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. THE SOFTWARE IS STOLEN / NOT GENUINE / FAKE. Like the other guy, I had to purchase a PRODUCT KEY from Microsoft for $149. 00 + taxes.

ALSO, THERE IS NO RETURN POLICY FOR THIS SELLER. STEER CLEAR OF THIS GUY!

TOTAL COST AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE:

FAKE MS CD/PRODUCT KEY = $ 75. 00
SHIPPING FOR FAKE CD = $ 3. 99
REAL MS PRODUCT KEY = $149. 00
TAXES FOR MS PROD K = $ 13. 78
===================================
TOTAL COST = $241. 77

ADD $200. 00 for lost time = $441. 77

UPDATE – UPDATE – UPDATE

Below is the response from the seller after I requested a full refund.

i am sorry i try to contact the person i bought from he never response i can give 25 dollars because i already used the money to paid my rent if not i can borrow some to refund your money when you send it back to

Beware of different versions of Windows

for US USA United States
and for UK United Kingdom
and other places like Canada

I noticed two different numbered products here on Amazon,
and searched for them at google to find out why it was so.

So I found some useful information already posted at ebay.

This is what I found as below, that I copy and paste here:

While shopping for Microsoft Windows XP Professional I’ve learned about the differences in two versions being offered.

One has the manufacturers part number or SKU number E85-02665 and the other is E85-02667. These are both English language but the version with #E85-02667 is meant for distribution in the UK and associated countries. The #E85-02665 is for the US and Canada.

These numbers are on a label on the box that the product comes in.

I contacted Microsoft about the E85-02667 UK version and asked if this would work okay in my PC here in the US. They said it would work but that it has “significant program differences” than the E85-02665 US/CAN version. Also the support office for the UK version is in the UK and the US/CAN version support office is in the US.

These are both XP professional full versions. They are not OEM or upgrades. The E85-02665 retails for around $300 at the store. On eBay the E85-02667 UK is selling cheaper than the E85-02665 US/CAN version but be aware that sellers are not describing E85-02667 as a UK version.

I don’t know of anyone using the UK version in there PC in the US but I didn’t want to be a guinea pig and find out if it works okay without problems because of the programming differences between the two so I’m sticking with E85-02665,the US/CAN version.

Caveat Emptor – let the buyer beware.
