Just an FYI for those who howl down everyone who negged their deals because they were selling dodgy keys (and mod inaction on these types of sellers as well)

    Cmon, give the mod team credit, they do a better job than other sites:

    This deal is not published.
    Microsoft Windows 10 Pro $81.90 (Use Coupon below) @ Moonbox Software (Questionable Legitimacy of Product)

    Their deals always looked dodgy, always looked like they were selling dodgy $20 keys but putting a significant mark up on them.

  • This happens quite a lot in Australia, but it's usually not reported. Particularly bad if you're a business with CALs doing dodgy and Microsoft decide to do an audit.

    A lot of us have always said that Moonbox and others are using VL/MSDN/AP/OEM etc. licenses illegally.

  • so it just means the company winds up declaring bankruptcy

  • Moderators here are pretty balanced and effective.
    Look @ Whirlpool or OCAU forum and you'll see how nasty and personal they can get .. i.e. running the place like its their own home, shutting down discussions/comments that don't align with their personal view, closing topics and leaving a snarky note (haha! I got the last say and you can't reply to me!)
