    May not believe this, but I have purchased completely legitimate, legal XP Pro installations for Windows XP off of eBay. Been a while, but I've done it, and they weren't gray-market or OEM, and had the CoA... something in the $120 range or so.

    If your a college student, you can usually get it free. Else, you can get oem versions from newegg.com or tigerdirect for around 100 dollars.
