    What's wrong with this? Why is it so cheap? It's over £370 on Amazon.

    I think this may be a hint...

    "Note: Item is not boxed, Images are for illustration purposes only. "

    At best it's an OEM copy at worst it's a blatant knockoff.

    And the company has oly been around since August this year...

        I suspect OEM. The cheeky blaggards.

            Wow, they've been in business since August!

            Not sure I'd do it.

              Googling seems to support the suspicion that you might as well cut out the middleman and get it straight from a bitTorrent, shivers me timbers. Apparently its a download rather than a CD.

              E.g.
              "I am having one of those ' can't belive I have been duped' moments. As the saying goes if it is too good to be true than it generally is. I too bought a copy of MIcrosoft Office 2003 only to discover it was a download version and then once downloading it the product key was invalid."

                I bought mine as a download version. Can't remember the name of the place. They have loads of other stuff as well. Also got the full Dreamweaver suite.

                basically download each of the cds as full images which you then just burn to disk.

                Cost me about £60.

                Works for me.

                  OK so without being duped, where can you buy Office 2003? How much?

                  Can you get an upgrade that means you can install anywhere, eg using Office 97-

                    Ebuyer tend to have a fair bit of software in stock.

                    CCL also do, but I think their's is mainly up to date versions (I.e. Office 2007)
