Bit of a strange request I know, but where is the best place to buy a copy of windows xp from (including the media not just the key).

Probably after the Pro version.

Cheers peeps

If you're gonna pay for a version of Windows, why not make it Vista?

i checked ebuyer, the windows xp home and pro are upgrades only, so not sure if the overslockers price can be beaten.

even though im into IT a bit, at work weve got all the wide ranging O/S ranging from vista to win 95,

i use a real version of winxp home and am quite happy with it

wouldnt go for vista just yet, i use it @ work and dont like it much, wait until the summer if your going to go for vista

Thumbs Up

Vista isn't wanted, just XP.
