DSP version of Windows XP?

[vaportrail]

I found a website that offers "DSP" versions of some Microsoft software. For instance: XP Pro (not the upgrade, the full version) with volume license for only $60, and XP Pro with Office 2003 for only $73. Do you recommend using the DSP versions, or is this a scam? BTW: I found it at wholesalepcstuff.com if you want to look at it.

DSP is just another word for OEM, i.e not the retail box version, just the disk and CD key.

They are usually sold with hardware such as a new computer, but they are just being resold, they should be fine :)

That is an astonishing discount! Unlimited installs for a fraction of the cost with all of office 2003 thrown in? Rob, do you think this is worth mentioning in the Windows OS page?
