Cheap Microsoft Office? Or A Scam?

http://misoftshop.com/
This is the link to the online shop, it looks like a bargain, and i almost spuge on it until i research around a bit first... all the other online shops are selling for over 300 bucks for microsoft programs.. and i'm quite puzzled that this link sells only$65.. anyone got any idea if this is genunie? Is it just providing the CD key hence it's so cheap?? I also notice that on this page http://misoftshop.com/pages/Notes.html
The english is very poor.. i did a google search.. several vietnamese website pop up with the link misoftshop...
Anyone bought anything from this site before?
Thanks! -

Windows 7 not even released yet and they already have the license key.

Well, if this was not genuine, wouldn't microsoft go all out to shut it down?

Guess those folks in Malaysia selling softwares for $10 are also legal, else BSA would have caught up with them.

Well
Nothing is free in this world

Only when one is greedy, can he/she succumb to a scam.

1. Why is your software cheaper than the original version?
Because we offer only download copies of licensed versions. This means that you will not receive any printed documentation (licensing or instructions) - just files and instructions in .txt format, and will not be able to register this software online. All updates (for most of the software) are available to you. The software which we selling was bought primarily at auctions and from companies that have gone out of business.

It will be subjected to 90 days warranty and there will not be any free telephone support. It does not come in a box, rather it will be a cd sleeve with a cd and the product code with a license agreement.
(: it cannot be used on more than 1 computer.

actually Microsoft offers medialess OEM versions of their office software at 25%-35% of the full package price
eg:
MS office 2007 small business edition full pack price is about $650
MS office 2007 small business edition OEM license is just about $180the down side is that you have to find the correct version of the software online to download and install.
from experience, there are more than 5 online versions of MS office 2007 small business edition
getting the correct version can be quite a hassle
Microsoft support cannot even direct me to the correct version after I submit the serial to them.
