I found a way do get m$ software really cheap!

I do not know about you but in WI in the good ole USA, through the state unaversitys you can get cheap software. You have to be a student bu sign up for a sysmetsr, which is like $110. Then you can get: Windows XP Pro, $25
Office XP $25,
MS Vissule studeo 6 $35 (this is normally $1,000!!)
and more!
I am only 15, so I had friend who went there (and is a mac user)and he is getting me the software I wanted.
only bad thing is you can only get 1 copy.

I've seen XP Home for £30 in the UK, for educational purposes.

PS. If any of this invloves activites which are not legal then please adit/remove your post. I'm not sure if student licenses are transferable.

I do not know about a recently but maybe 6 months ago at M$ site I am pretty sure I saw the whole thing nonupgrade version for around a $1000.

I do not know if it is ilegal to transvere student lisenses.

It may or may not legal to "transfer" a student license, you have to read the EULA. But if it goes by the normal "install and run on one computer only" rule of thumb, I see no problems. /me looks into makingfake student ID's :)
