Wow, gone so fast. I ordered one earlier today, but these seem to sell out pretty quickly. I ordered XP for the 2nd time, and it seems like there has been 7000 orders in about a month. So it seems like MS is not putting out too many XP's out there.
Just an FYI for everyone. After checking forums about an hour ago I jumped out to the Training site to order my XP Pro. I was very dissappointed to not see it out there AGAIN! Anyway, I completed my last 2 training classes available, and went back to the prize shop, still no XP. Finally I just kept hitting refresh off and on for around an hour while surfing the net in another window and all of a sudden XP Pro appeared right under the Zoo Tycoon title!!! So the moral of the story is keep trying and hitting refresh, maybe you'll luck out like me. 
Goog Luck!!
P.S. I was only able to order 1, and it "cost" 2500 points.

I ordered last night, and yeah it pops in and out every so often so you have to keep your eyes peeled.
The order still shows in process though.

*been hitting refresh for hours* My fingers hurt...and I sitll dont have it...but hopefully soon I will (2,550 pts)...I might as well do the other training things in the mean time, maybe get enough to order 2 XPs, or Zoo Tycoon or Halo...all are good
Like it says, "must work in retail" There is a terms and agreement form that covers eligibility on the site. I'm sure it's part of the registration section.
just got my winxp in today. does the liscense allow me to legally install winxp corporate instead so i dont have to mess w/ activation?
looks like "Plus Digital Media Edition" is available now for 500 pts. not of much interest to me, but a new arrival nonetheless.
I am wondering that too. It sure would be nice. Does a normal XP Pro key work with the corporate version?
Negatory. Each flavor/version of windows has its own scheme of cd keys. Each will only accept the keys of its type. For instance, home keys wont work in pro. French keys wont work in english versions. And corporate keys aren't interchangable. Corporate win xp requires corporate keys to work.
You could always be one of those people (and there are a fair number of them) who get the illegal copies, install, and have the retail sitting on the shelf so they can say they have a legal purchased copy. Personally I just bought my win xp and installed it, so it activates, its not that big of a deal. Activation takes like 5 seconds over the internet, and its NOT nessasary to fill out all that information in REGISTRATION, those are two differant things. Activation doesn't require any of your information. I personally skipped registration, I dont want to give MS my address/phone/fax/email/life.
has xp been popping up for anyone recently? I badly want it (esp since my computer just died and i'm trying to build a new one w/xp)
Ordered mine 3 days ago and it appears to have shipped...now I have enough points for another, though.
Damn it, I've been going to it for like 2-3 days now and it hasnt popped up at all...I hope they bring it back some point soon. If they dont bring it back within a week or so, I'm gonna have to settle for a couple of games
