Found them through google.... Wow! That is a great price for XP Pro! That is if it is a legal copy. NPR reported that 30% of them are not legal. Anyway there are times that I rather run Windows 2000 vs. XP to be honest with you. As it is much faster and runs in half of the RAM that XP requires. Unless you nLite your XP copy. But you virtually end up with Windows 2000 anyway in that case. grin The con of Windows 2000 or the good news, depending how how you look at it. Anything that requires Windows XP SP2 or higher will likely not run. Nor can you upgrade IE past v6. Nor upgrade Windows Media Player past v9. Although some see this as a good thing. grin -- Bill Windows 7 Ultimate (build 7100) Asus EEE PC 702G16 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC |
