Wow.

"Who would be stupid enough to buy this"

you would be amaized

"We offer a 100% legitimate backup/replacement service. A Windows 7 License Key will NOT be included in this listing. This disc is available for people who already own Windows 7 (have a genuine Windows 7 License Key from Microsoft). It is for someone who has either lost their original installation disc or was not provided with one when they bought their new desktop or laptop. This can be installed and activated on any number of computers as long as you own a GENUINE Windows 7 License Key for each installation."

It's possible that one can be legit.

Regardless I wouldn't trust "ferran586".

Idiots.

It's also entirely possible that they used a random picture from google images, unless that's the point you were trying to make.



20 People Apparently.

It's just a Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit compiled together using ImageX in a DVD-R, which should be breaking eBay terms & conditions for selling such items, but I'm not amazed eBay didn't put it out yet since eBay are lazy...

! very stupid!

Any idiot could tell the difference...

Any idiot? They're not any idiot, they're uber idiot, that's why they can't tell the differences

I don't buy stuff from eBay. Its harder to hold them liable in case you need to take legal action for some reason (sent an empty box, already activated, etc.)

That's why exercise practice to buy from reputable seller. Once I bought VB4.0 Pro Upgrade, when it arrived the box are all completes except the CD is missing, I informed the seller, and he send me VB5.0 Pro (Academic) for free. Now that's a good/reputable seller!

All this really does is make me want to make some ebay auctions. Maybe next time I buy a PC just to run linux I will try this little trick out and see if I get any bites.

I have never bought anything from eBay. Always Amazon. Got a Battery, Keyboard, and a 15.4 Inch Glossy Screen for my Laptop from Amazon, yet I got the DC Jack from some else place, My Grandfather only had Lead Solder... Fried the Board ... But That's a whole other Story, The Moral is, Never buy anything from eBay.

I'd never buy hardwares or peripherals from eBay as god knows how it's conditions or compatibilities. But for softwares, it's way better than Amazon, and whole lot cheaper. I got Visual Studio 2002 Enterprise Architect full box for $10. Wasn't that cheap?

The image of that Microsoft Windows 7 DVD is fake. Also, the real Microsoft Windows 7 DVD includes all editions except Enterprise.

Also you need to remember that genuine Windows 7 DVD will only install the edition its intended to. This so-called "Universal" DVD is just hacked together using XImage and burned to an empty DVD, just like I said before.

Well you can't be too careful on eBay. Trust no one Ever.



There is a way to install Ultimate from any Windows 7 DVD no matter what edition it is. It's all in the install.wim file



For What you paid is what you get unless you know better

You seems to have some trust issue, I don't however.


That's my point. How many "end users" know that deleting ei.cfg allows them to install any edition (except Enterprise) from one single disc?

You pay for the license to use the product, not for the copy or installation media.



+1

I meant on eBay. some people just lure the person into a Great Photo of the product and will give you crap.



Eh Whatever. all I can tell you is that I got Windows 7 from a friend, and a Key from another. And I have an ISO too... so I'm set on Windows 7

I meant on eBay too That's why eBay have buyer protection programme so you can get your money back (plus original shipping price) if the seller scam you. And common sense really helps when dealing with too-good-to-be-true listings.
