Should I buy XP from this guy?

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.

i second that emotion!
i never understood why tinyurl existed, but then i was not a pioneer
in forum lurking and posting and such on the internets.....

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

OK, sorry. I won't use tiny anymore.

i post on another board where even an amazon product page url won't show. i always have to make it a tiny url to post.
