So, I'm looking for a web publishing tool as I'm still using FrontPage circa 1974. I do a Google search on "Dreamweaver" and see it's completely out of my price range. However, at the top of the Google page is a link to this site:
{LINK REMOVED BY SKYDOG}
EDIT: That's gotta be a piracy site.
So, somehow they are able to discount software 80% (?!) by not providing you with documentation or a burned copy (which you can do yourself, if you want). However, here's the kicker - when I checked the terms of the sale, I found this:
"You cannot register the software with the manufacturer and updates are available not for all the products;"
The poor grammar notwithstanding, does this make any sense? Is this a paid pirating site? You can purchase Windows XP off the site for a huge discount - doesn't Microsoft automatically register you during the installation process? Am I not getting something, or is this a scam to the highest degree?
