Microsoft office purchasing question

My trial is coming to an end next week. I would like to purrchase the Office
Suite that includes Outlook. I found a site on-line, www.firstpickstore.com.
They offer
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus for $135.00 compared to purchasing
from Microsoft at $329.95. How can this be? Is firstpickstore legit?
Thanks,
Scott

Yes it is legit. However, you can convert your trial version to full
version by changing your registry keys so if you supply your email here
(you can create a free one on hotmail/yahoo for this purpose) and I can
send you the instructions privately.

Please use the same ISP as I will check the IP address before I send
anything to you. the reason for this is additional security is because
M$ is after people sending any cracks about its products.! I shall be
using a different ISP for this purpose.

Are you willing to take $135 chance on it? I wouldn't. Unless you can
find someone who purchased from this site and had no issues, I wouldn't.

I would not trust that site.Just read their policy. You get what you pay for. Be
careful what you decide to do because if you think you will save or go around the
proper way of doing it you are mistaken.

Office Pro Plus is a volume licensed version and can only be purchased in
volume or through your employer's home use program. This company is selling
a volume licensed version against the EULA that Microsoft has supplied them.
In other words this company is selling pirated software.

Do you really think it's wise to trust your email address, your reputation, your computer
and perhaps your wallet to someone who offers, on Microsoft's own site, to assist you in
stealing from Microsoft?

When he/she/it sends you instructions or software that trashes your computer, who you gonna
call to complain? Some guy named ANONYMOUS you met on the internet?

Bright move or no? You decide.

Not a very bright move. Someone that claims that a pirated site is legit then what
do you think will happen with your pirated installation. Think before jumping head
first into an empty pool void of water
