And Note*
Note* If you think that you can get Windows XP from your next door neighbor or friends think again, with the new Microsoft Product Activation, that product is sealed to you only, and can not be used again on another computer. Heres how it works, you put your special Product ID during the installation and afterwards when you start up an Windows, it will bring up an Product Activation which means that you have to register through Microsofts Servers (or the product will not be any good) and they will generate a unique ID for your Product Key and store it on their Servers so if anyone else tries to use the Product Key again it will not be any good. It also images your computer for hardware so if you have to reinstall it then its no problem only on your machine, if you make a significant upgrade then you would have to call Microsoft to reverify your computer and license. So dont waste time in trying to install your friends copy because its not going to work period.
