Help with Win XP - need to buy a copy.

Mong · 12-10-2007, 11:25 AM

Anyone know a place where I can purchase Win XP cheaply?

MO75 · 12-10-2007, 11:42 AM

I bought an OEM version (XP Home edition) the other day from Ebuyer for just over £50 with delivery. Cheapest I could find it, but obviously being OEM there are limitations...

Thanx mang, what are the limitations with OEM? I assume you can only install it on one machine and it is tied into that machine for life.

Yeah, I think that's basically it. If you need to do a reinstall you have to call a number and they'll give you an activation code or summat, apparently. Plus you don't get a manual.

Thanx

Unfortunately I cant find the cheap version on ebuyer
