I recently bought and received just today the retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate off ebay (I know i know don't ever by windows 7 from ebay but i did and its done). Seller had a good feedback reputation and described the product a lot better than most sellers would. It was still shrink wrapped and never opened. I was willing to pay extra money for something legitimate so I didn't "score myself a deal" as some counterfeiters try to get people on.
My question is this: the COA is different from the more common red security strip versions that say "Our Passion" on it. See the attached pic for what it is that I bought.
I've looked at the box back to back side to side up down and around all over the place and there are no misspellings or suspicious manufacturing. It seems to be completely legitimate except for the layout and blue colored security strip which appears to be sandwiched in with the paper fibers from view of the porthole like it should.
Has anyone seen this? My mind would rest at ease if someone can tell me that their legitimate retail copy used this style COA and has been running flawlessly for at least a couple years. Thanks for any advice.
P.S. Here is an additional link to someone questioning the same style COA yet the replies never confirmed it to be legitimate or not.
