Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best and cheap place to buy Windows XP. I checked online and not sure which are genuine.

Thanks
Loks.

Depending on your needs, you could look into using something like Ubuntu instead, which is free.

Also look at distrowatch for linux distros.

At £13, it was either incomplete, damaged, or onw of the 100s of Chinese counterfeits on there. XP Pro is £100 piece of software.

If it is anything like the counterfeit Office 2003s I ahve seen, it will be an Enterprise copy. Did you actually activate it online after installation?
