Well, just look at the domain name: OEMit.BIZ. OEM, so you're not
buying the retail version so their comparison against the full retail
price of the full retail version is not only misleading but nearly
fraudulent. BIZ, not a good TLD (top level domain) to affiliate one's
web site since lots of .biz sites are scam sites. Below is the
registration for oemit.biz. Notice they registered just recently on Jan
15, 2004. Also note they paid the minimum possible for that domain name
in that they registered it only for 1 year, the minimum duration. They
don't expect to be around long. The registrant is in China, so what
recourse will you have against non-delivery, wrong product, illegal
product, or excessive charges?
