Default Where to buy Windows XP OEM
Hi guys.

Looking to purchase a legit copy of Win XP for a new PC.

I ran across this site but am not sure if its legit or not.

www.greatsoftwaredeals.com

They sell Winxp OEM for $84. Can't beat that. Any suggestions?

Ok, sorry about that...I should've specified at a good price!...

Seriously, $144 is feasible, but 84 is better...I guess im really asking if the site I specified is the real deal.

I tend not to trust those "deal" sites. I do know that you can find an upgrade disk for a significantly reduced price. Like one that updates 98 to xp or sonething like that. Try looking for one of those.

I would not trust any site that was selling that far below newegg. Certainly newegg isn't the end-all-be-all of online shopping, but thier prices are competitive. I have bought XP Pro from newegg and can say from experience that you get a completely legit COA.
