| Greetings:
I have just purchased from Amazon.com Microsoft Windows
XP Professonal... what I believed to be a legal purchase
of software. To my surprise upon entering the product key
used to install Windows XP professional I was informed it
is a invalid product key.
How did this happen? And with Amazon.com?
It arrived from Russia via Delaware as discussed with my
mail carrier because of the unusual postmarks and white
enevelope it came in. It was purchased using a credit
card that verifies USA RUSSIA.
Yes, it was a purchase made off the internet but we have
thought to have used reliable retailers in the past and
have never had any problems.
Hello! Does anyone care? No, the program does not
work. I should have kept my windows 98SE version and
forget upgrading. I now have a mess on my hands. How do
you and Amazon let this happen?
Thank you! From a 2 household computer user... This
really Sucks!

Frankly, in this group, no. Someone might at Amazon (though it's
doubtful your purchase was actually from Amazon) or someone might at
Microsoft, but this is a group for security concerns in IIS, so pretty
much, we really don't care.

Unfortunatley, I don't control who posts to the wrong group, who
orders what off the internet or what you do with your system. So in
essence, I let it happen because I have no way of keeping it from
happening.
By the way, cancel your credit card before you start seeing all kinds
of erroneous charges...

| I would take Jeff's advice and cancel the credit card since such a small
thing like this makes you distraught, when you see $5,000.00 worth of
charges on your credit card your family will have to call 911.
