Can't just up and buy it oh hell no you have to exchange your old copy of XP for it. But what if you need that copy of XP to run on a different computer? This blows.

I need to track down a copy of XP for el cheapo. Maybe the college is still running the cheap software so you won't pirate it type deal.

Garrrr!

What if your XP copy is integrated in your factory system recovery disk?

This is funny. I just loaded WinME onto a computer and then applied Trev's fixes (makes it run better than win98SE) yesterday. XP is way too bloated for me. M$ has to many politics these days.
