The same as two persons before me. BAD, BAD!
Good price, but for illegal software, PIRATE.
For many of "us" will be hard to use.
Do not buy anything from this seller, now you know and if you will buy, will be error.

I ordered Windows 7 Professional. The product II received is clearly a pirated version (none of the "How to Tell" indicators from Microsoft's WEB site checked out).

Although Softsets.com is a sponsored site on Amazon.com, you don't find out they are from China until you receive your PayPal receipt (which is another issue, since if you receive the product, PayPal takes no responsibility).

So shame on www.softsets.com, but also shame on Amazon.com who never explains that Sponsored links are anyone who is willing to pay them, and shame on PayPal who seems to always wash their hands when disputes occur (and never warn you that the company you are about to pay has no relationship with PayPal so they are not responsible).

I was lured in by Amazon's "sponsored link". The first copy I received contained an invalid product key. I called Microsoft and they said the key was not valid. Softsets sent me another key - that too was invalid. I call them again and they sent me second copy. That key was no good. Lesson learned - stay away from what seems like reputable sponsors. For myself, I'm staying away from Amazon for all software purchases.
