    I doubt that's legit.

    You've got to pay to play.

    If you're looking for cheaper legit software check out OEM copies or educational editions if you're in school.

    I'm positive it isn't legitimate. Do not purchase from that site.

    Not surprisingly, that website is hosted on a server in China.

    That doesn't surprise me as right now China's in a little trouble over the high amount of piracy going on there...
