Microsoft Windows XP Holographic CD w/ Genuine Key

I found this site that sells Microsoft Windows XP Pro 64-Bit (Holographic CD w/ Genuine Key) and wondering what the catch is about these Holographic CD w/ Genuine Key? I have checked prices for WinXP Home/Pro and they are in the Hundreds. This site claims to be NOT BOOTLEG but legal Microsoft Windows XP Pro 64-Bit (Holographic CD w/ Genuine Key)$89.99 as well as Microsoft Windows XP Pro 32-Bit (Holographic CD w/ Genuine Key)$69.99
I have provided the link below http://www.softwareoutlet.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=0464&Category_Code=MICS-010&Product_Count=4

Thanks

You can buy OEM versions legally from trustworthy vendors for less than US$100.
Here's one site:

You can find plenty more by searching with Froogle for:

Strictly speaking these should only be sold if you buy a hardware item, such as a DVD drive, with them. But most vendors don't worry about that.
I buy them regularly to install on PCs I build for others. As far as I know it's perfectly legit.
