<pre wrap="">Buying from ebay does not in any way ensure it is legal. They can say
what they want in the description, chances are that is not a legal
copy, hence the low price (which was over the $100US line anyways) <span class="moz-smiley-s1" title=":)"><span>:)</span></span>

Actually, the title specifically says they're not. They're OEM
copies, meaning they're licensed for a system builder to include
with a PC to be sold. A quick check on Newegg puts the retail
version at $200.<br>
