Win XP for cheap?


I'm trying to get my hands on a legit copy because people I support are drooling over it and will want it as soon as it comes out. Where's everyone here getting copies from so early? Do any of you got extra copies I can get my hands on? I've used RC1 and RC2 and kind of like what I see. This would be greatly appreciated and I wouldn't forget it.

I may have the abilty to spare as many as 6 licenses for XP pro, this is a big maybe but I will let you know. These are complete legit copies and not cracks and hacks.

I remember when people used to stand on street corners with signs "Will work for Food"... look how far we've advanced, now we're working for OS's.

Well... count me in, Trancebear... "Will work for MSXP."

wow, that was probaly not a good idea to post that. I got flooded with massive messages to give them out. I have sent all but 2 to people that I will trust not to warez these presious copies that never need activated. I was even offered many $. I have a copy for OC Jason and Phiber.

There are many types of WinXP, there is a version you do not have to activate, it is made for large server upgrades.

Really, now that's the version I would like if I were to install XP.
Do you know what the price will be on that one?

Lots of $$$!! A lot more than getting a proper license for each computer, unless you have a whole lot of computers.
