E-Bay Software

Just looking at Microsoft office 365 and found this:

There must be a catch it is too cheap to be true.
What do you think please?

The fact that the product keys have been 'extracted from installations on PCs' is a clear indication that it's effectively pirated software. (There won't be a product key on a computer unless that product has been installed on it, so you'd be trying to re-use an old product key. Any attempt to register the product with Microsoft, in order to receive updates, might well fail).

The seller has no feedback within the past 12 months and he's not previously sold any software, so I'd steer well clear.

Do you actually need Microsoft Office anyway? Most people around here use one of the free alternatives (which are just as good), with OpenOffice being the clear favourite:

(If you do choose OpenOffice though, it's probably best to change its default file formats to match Microsoft ones by following these simple instructions:

If you must get office, try office 2010. Genuine copy from ebay £34.99 with installation disc and key. I've bought a couple.

Lifetime installation on single computer.

Thank You both.
Giving Open Office a go.
