lowest price you got for legal copy of Windows XP Prof?

would puchasing a upgrade version be the best route? who sells it for the cheapest?


When I price out laptops you can buy it w/o any OS.

Or buy it for about 160bucks...

couldn't I get it cheaper.

its Windows XP Pro, nothing is disabled or restricted in any way in the software. the only restriction is in the licensing scheme where once you are no longer at a learning institution you are required to uninstall and no longer use it on any machine.
