[WinPartners] French Versions of Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003

[Jacob Morzinski]

Hi Roger,

Is purchasing Euro-priced products from Amazon.fr an option?

My high-school French is rusty, but it appears that Amazon France (Amazon.fr) has a "Microsoft Store":
http://www.amazon.fr/logiciels-microsoft-windows-xp-vista-office/b/qid=1235074788/ref=sr_tc_img_2_0?ie=UTF8&node=318737011

The Amazon.fr Microsoft store does have your desired version of Office Standard 2007 (French):
http://www.amazon.fr/Microsoft-45450G-Office-Standard-2007/dp/B000HEV670/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1235074954&sr=11-1

The Amazon.fr Microsoft Store has a two versions of Windows XP Pro, neither of which are an exact match to what you cited:
http://www.amazon.fr/Microsoft-Windows-XP-Professionnelle-OEM/dp/B000HD13N8/ref=pd_ts_sw_2?ie=UTF8&s=software
http://www.amazon.fr/Windows-Professionnel-SP2-français-poste/dp/B000VXRLA8/ref=pd_ts_sw_4?ie=UTF8&s=software

Searching for "9pf-00040" turns up yet a third version of Windows XP Pro, but it is a little odd because nothing on the product page explicitly mentions "9pf-00040".  I'm not sure how this version differs from the previous two versions:
http://www.amazon.fr/Microsoft-Get-Genuine-Windows-Professional/dp/B000LC51BA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1235075029&sr=1-1


Regards,
 -Jacob
