Just to add to what Ace had to say which I agree with 100 percent.
If you are studying for MCSE, get a full version of XP Pro - you will want to know
all what it does and is will be the focus on exams that cover XP as XP Pro is for the
corporate/business market. You can get it at decent prices such as the link below for
OEM edition. Note that "hardware required" purchase often can be fulfilled buying a
five dollar mouse or a keyboard.

If that is not possible for you, then use another evaluation edition of Windows 2003
or Windows 2000. I have several copies of each installed in my home lab. I have a
couple older computers that I built from parts with removable drive trays. With three
computers and multiple removeable drive trays that include triple boot operating
systems [same or different operating systems] I can quickly set up almost any
scenario - multiple dc's, child domains, separate forests, downlevel NT domain,
