    When a deal looks to good to be true, it normally is.

    I know the people who demanded that the ads get taken down from the site yesterday, but seriously what the hell is wrong with those companies. I mean surely you would have someone with a technical know how doing their homework prior to releasing these products?? and secondly what if a person decides that Mac is no more for them, then what you have to buy Windows XP and then Windows 8. I'm sorry that bullshit, it's another reason why I won't be buying win 8...

    Mac->Windows, virtualisation, self build... for that you'll need the "system builder" version (marketed in SA as OEM or DSP).
    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

    Those people were told it's a full version so therefore they must be given a full version according to the consumer protections act.

    Typical from Groupon. They spam me with their offers no matter how many times I opt out. So if they cant do something simple like removing you from a mailing list, then getting MS8 T&C's right is surely too much to ask
