Today I got spam from a company called BACKUP PRODUCTIONS, selling WIN
XP PO, OFIICE XP PRO and hundreds of other stuff for $24.99 for (1),
16.99 for the secon and FREE for the third.

The FROM: part of the email was co...@aol.com - NOT A VALID ADDRESS.

I'm tempted: but I am also very suspicious as their website is not up
yey. The list of items for sale are in a link in the email.

Is this company on the level?

probably not as warez is simply programs that have been cracked to
defeat copyright protections and offered for free instead of having to
be paid for..otherwise known as software piracy

My "foundation" verse:
Isiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Yes. Send them all your money and wait.

No, the company isn't on the level, unless you're looking to dealing in
stolen goods. Myself, I'd simply forward the e-mail to
pir...@microsoft.com.

I bought a copy of XP Pro with SP1 from backups.cd for $29.

If you decide to buy a warez operating system, use a company that uses
paypal. That way, you know the company will never see your bank account
details.

All in all, i'm very happy with the service I received.
