    The update is free, but Windows XP is not.

    I haven't done it, so I have no advice beyond this, but look up slipstreaming. A friend of mine did it to get XP on his Mac. He also only had a disc for SP 1.

    Of course XP SP2 is free. It is a stinking bug fix!



    The day you have to pay for that is the day you don't need a computer.
