I agree with Stargate. Newegg usually has OEM versions for really cheap. Sometimes they might make you buy a piece of hardware, but usually thats not the case
there is a a better way (EVERYTHING is FREE and legal (Just supply the internet and some hard disk space))
1. Search for uTorrent
2. Download it
3. download Windows XP on a torrent site (XP’s in a .torrent file)
4. WAIT for the download to finish
5.1. (IF you have a CD/DVD/??-???/???-??? Burner) Burn the file (if inside an .ISO get ImgBurn, otherwise COPY all the files into your Drive and burn it)
5.2 (IF you don’t have a CD/… Burner) Get a Virtual Machine at:
5.2A Microsoft (Virtual PC)
5.2B (the Torrent Sites (so that you can get VMWare (Workstation) FREE)
NewEgg.com. $50 for XP Home. A bit more for Pro though. NewEgg is awesome, just ordered a bunch of stuff from there on Monday!
