Hey guys, seems like you know a little bit on OS. I need to find a full version of XP with some academic discount. if i could find it on newegg that would be great. at this point i dont really care home vs pro, just need to shave some money off a system. and yes, I am in school so this is being done legally. thanks!

Nope, only 1 license per student/facultiy, and someday I may want to use windows. Plus that would violate the license agreement we have (says non transferable license)

You can get it through your school or through an Authorized Education Reseller (like gradware.com). In either case, the seller must verify that you are a student. For gradware.com, you have to fax them a copy of your student ID or your class schedule and drivers license.

I bought Office from them a few years ago. Unfortunately, I'm no longer a student.
