Since I ordered the Intel MacBook, I'll be wanting to put XP on for those rare occasions I might need it. I keep seeing this ad on CL and wonder if what he's selling is in any way legit.

What do they say about things that sound too good?

I agree generally, but you'd think M$ would have hauled this guys A$$ away by now. He's been advertising this for months.

if vista wasn't such a piece of undone crap; he would be selling XP for a lot less. It was released in 2001.
That would be like paying $80 today for OS X 10.0
that said; you can't find XP selling (legitimately) for much cheaper.

tinyurl exists because phorum used to put the whole dang gobbledygook on the posting.
