This was served as an ad on youtube: https://softwaredepot.co/download-microsoft-office/ms-office-2010-pc-download.html

Anyone purchased from them before?

Probably not as MS Office 2010 has been superseeded by Office 2016 some time ago. Also the "About Us" is dodgy as possible...

Adress also points to some place that offers "virtual offices" which sounds a tad shady.

That site doesn't inspire confidence in either the legitamacy of either the software or the "proudly australian" claim.

The FAQ page in particular doesn't seem to answer any real question about that software ...
