On a related note, is there anything suspicious, any real gotchas,
about the super-cheap XP Pro full version offers that come with a

Thanks to you and the many others who confirmed my doubts.

I suspect you are about to do a lot of finagling and in the end won't be
able to activate your XP. In fact, there is even a fair possibility that
by now or shortly if not yet done, any related COA you find will be
reported as pirated on top of that and ONLY a good COA is going to do you
any good. I'd check the illegal COA list before submitting it if I were
you; but even so I suspect activation problems are goign to stop you.
IMO you need to get your money back and spend it honestly elsewhere.

Sorry if I gave the impression I had purchased this product.
In casting about for a way to get upgraded hardware without going to Vista
I checked on the price of new XP Pro full version, and noticed a link to
this vendor, and wondered if it really were too good to be true or if it
were somehow legitimate. (I notice Amazon is selling an OEM version of XP
HE for half the price of full XP, which seems legitimate subject to the
licensing restrictions.) I would be very cautious before handing them my
credit card number!


I never got that impression from you. Your post was clear.
