I'm not sure why your info about the Jewish sabbath came to me. I think perhaps it was the other poster who made reference to business on Saturday.

I think it's great for a company of that size to keep the Sabbath. We had a hamburger joint in my home town that was closed on Fridays back when Catholics couldn't eat meat on Fridays (unless you were military-try explaining that to a 10 year old kid like me back then!)

Unbeatablesales.com distributes pirated software. I legitimately purchased Windows XP through the Amazon site and what they sent me is an OEM version that clearly states on the package "only to be sold with a new PC" and had no authentication certificate attached. When my son tried to install it on his Mac (albeit several months after we bought it due to him losing screen privileges) it would not work. We discovered, after MANY calls to Microsoft, that this particular disc would ONLY work with the PC it was intended to be sold with. I tried repeatedly to get Unbeatablesales.com to exchange my disc for one that I could actually install and they declined, albeit politely, to help me. So, now what do I do? Microsoft is referring me to the retailer, and the unethical retailer that distributes OEM software has kept my $120 and told me they will do nothing to assist me. HELP! Do I take them to small claims court to get restitution? I only want what I paid for. Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone??

Your first resolution with something like that should be to file a dispute with the credit card company. You should make sure you have copy of your receipt or invoice which states that you were getting a new retail version. By showing that you did not receive what you ordered, you have the proof you need to dispute the charge.

Generally, with software, if you open up the package your are accepting the user agreement for the software. If the package was evident that it was an OEM version and you opened it up, a court might deem that as the fact that you accepted ownership of the product according to its user agreement.
