Win Ult 7 English Row Dvd
Hi to all,
I am somewhat computer literate and today my version of Win 7 Ultimate 32 & 64 bit ( for my brother's birthday ) arrived. I am quite perplexed as there is a yellow sticker saying:
INGRAM MICRO VP# GLC00181
116W871
WIN ULT 7 ENGLISH ROW DVD
and in small letters: 852091102 at the bottom.It also says product of USA. I looked at a couple of sites and got conflicting views on this. Let me say that I purchased this on eBay for $145 and when it arrived you can see that it is indeed a non opened pack. When I opened the pack the 32bit disk had a small scratch on the label side but the 64bit disk has numerous scratches looking much like it had been used.
So my questions are :
1/: have I bought a counterfeit copy
2/: could this chap copied the disk and pre-shrunk it to look normal
3/: I have learned that ROW stands for Rest of World ( something to do with Britain & the European Community ). Is this correct ? Looking at his history of selling this is the 12th time he has sold copies of Win 7 Ultimate. Have I been conned ?
I have fired off a couple of emails to the seller but I am not getting a response. I would appreciate any feedback that you can give. By the way, I have registered to your forum yesterday so a big hello to all members.
Kind regards,
