[talyn00]

Didnt pay anything for XP. Got it through MSDN Academic Alliance.

 

[cronos]

No. msdnaa.

 

[Thegonagle]

I'll vote yes, because it's fully legit, but I got my XP "free" as a pledge premium for donating to public radio. (In a way, I did pay for it, because I probably wouldn't have pledged if they weren't offering XP that morning.)

 

[Aleksandar]

not Yet

 

[Bassyhead]

yep

 

[CVSiN]

Nope use Eval copies of XP and Server 2000 =)
MS Eval programs rock by the time the timebomb goes off its time to reformat anyway

technically i did... i bought win2k like 4-5 years ago, and since then i've lost the CD. so the copy on my computer isn't exactly the OEM copy that i had lol.... BUT I DID TECHNICALLY PAY FOR IT! SO HA!

 

[vegetation]

Sure did, through an OEM license that I had no choice in with my laptop purchase.

 

[jjones]

[jadinolf]

I bought two copies of XP Home from Sam's Club.

I am good.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

XP Pro, I suppose I paid indirectly through my tuition/fees (MSDN Academic Alliance thing). But I got my own key and it's legit.

 

[ElFenix]

this copy of xp i got for like $40. the other i got free from the MS student rep.

 

[WhiteKnight]

Win XP Pro. Yes.

 

[brtspears2]

WinXP Pro, $35 through university.

 

[Hammer]

yes, 2 xp pro bought from ms

 

[littleprince]

Yup.

But I'd pay about $300 if Mac decided to sell a port of their OS X for x86 machines.

 

[FoBoT]
