why do you need win xp anyway? if you are so strapped for cash then just use win98SE or winMe

Oh, and the oem version is still the full copy, it jus doesn't have a box an stuff, least i think thats right. You can pick up winXP prof OEM for about 120

If you're a student, you can get it for about 30 or 40 quid.

That is right Splaty, but OEM XP Home is cheaper than buying OEM ME or 98SE from DSP Trade distributors!!!!!

Please don't make similar posts in here as to the ones previously general discussion.

'Warez' talk will not be tolerated in the boards.

Thanks .

If you look then you can get a copy (original copy that is) from ebay.co.uk of XP Pro for around £70-£80.

Just make sure it comes with a certificate of Authenticity and is an original copy rather than a warez version.

Many of the sellers seem to be people who got the cd with their machine and want to get some money back.

Oh and make sure you ask the seller to make sure it is not warez before bidding and checkout their feedback before commiting yourself.

Cheers
