Hello.
The other day, I purchased a version of OEM Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from Amazon UK. It was a fulfilled by Amazon product and rather cheap at £59.99. I was very sceptical about the price of it, I read all the information from the listing on Amazon and all seemed fine, and I went ahead with the order. But I kept thinking the price, it's to good to be true. I thought. - `surely Amazon won't sell a product that's non-legit`
Well, I was very wrong indeed. When it arrived in the mail, I immediately opened the box, and saw a very strange German Windows 7 OEM DVD Case, but nothing like Microsoft's OEM packaging. There wasn't any mention of what DVD was inside the case, just the sellers name printed on it (pcfritz.de) and a security sticker written in German. I cut the sticker and opened the the case to discover a Dell Reinstallation Disc, titled:
Operating System Already Installed On Your Computer - For Distribution Only With A New Dell-PC
The Dell product key was stuck to a instruction manual written in German. Like I said, no mention of this on the packaging before I opened the case. The seller didn't say anything about this on Amazon being Dell Reinstallation Disc, so they're selling a product not as described - deliberately to make a sale, and that's against the 1979 sale of goods act. I didn't install this to my computer, and I reported the product and the seller to Amazon. They agreed, to allow me to return for a refund, they said the seller would be contacted and the product would be taken off their site has it wasn't as described.
Well, it seems Amazon haven't done anything about it, the seller is continuing to offer Dell Windows 7 for sale has genuine. Is this even legal?
