Also look closely at the center hub area, the pattern there is not quite correct for a real MS CD. IF you angle the CD to a light the entire top surface looks dimpled all over like it did not adhere correctly. The license numbers are not correct for Microsoft and do not work with a normal MS Office CD. The license 'genuine' ribbon is obviously fake.
I went to microsoft.com and searched for information on the Fake Office 2003 CD's. They reported that the fakes were just a sticker on a normal CD. So I felt for the edge of the sticker and sure enough it is a sticker that makes a CD look like the MS Cd. The sticker easily peals right off exposing a normal CD underneath. This does not happen on a real MS CD!
After reading your comments I inspected the Office 2003 CD I which arrived yesterday. I believe it to be one of the fakes and have contacted the Amazon.com (Amazon Marketplace)vendor about it and to request a refund. Thanks for staying on top of things like this.
