This place has Windows XP Pro for $79.99.

Please Note: This is a fully functional original Microsoft Student Media CD with installation key code and CD. On the CD it states you must legally own a copy of their license to use this CD. This software installs, fully activatable & registerable like the Commercial Versions you find in the retail stores. This item is shipped in an environmentally friendly packaging without the box.


What is the difference? If it has the activation code, whats up the license.

It's a completely legal version of Windows that will pass all WGA thingies, but it's actually illegal for YOU to purchase. Although, if you buy it and actually get it, you're in the win.

License = CD Key to install Windows.
Activation = Process that ensures the license used, was a legit CD Key, instead of a generated/pirated one.
