I'm not sure about this, what's the catch?

Paczak - Downloadable Software (http://paczak.cn/index.php)

What's the deal here, illegal? "Seems" above board but I smell fish......

We offer the software for downloading only, it means that you do not receive a fancy package, a printed manual and license that actually aggregate the largest part of the retail price. In this situation we are restricted in selling the products for private purposes only! You will not be able to get a technical support and different rebates from the manufacturer. Updates are available for the most of our products (you may ask our support staff for the exceptions) that make them fully functional and operating. Additionally you save the delivery cost.

Sounds like pirated material to me. Combined with the ever-reassuring .cn (i.e. Chinese) domain, where no software is ever legit, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Chinese are only good for e-gold. Pirate like a real man.

pixie has the sun been rotting your brain, or have you just been away so long you've reverted to being a noob?

Yeah, you see my Dad found it and was like:
"OMG! This looks great! I'll pick up a copy of XP SP2 for nothing, great stuff."

I was like, erm, n00b. That sounds dodgy as hell I said as he gave me the details over the phone, but I'll get a 2nd opinion first. Can't say fairer than that! :)

Teach him to torrent ;)

This is the allofmp3.ru of software (i.e. clearly not legitimate)

[neogramps]

good god don't! he'll be downloading fakes in no time.

i educated my dad a bit too well (so that he could do more than just email) and now he thinks he knows what he's doing, but he just buys random pish software and buggers up his laptop on a fairly regular basis.
