How do i download windows xp to a windows 2000 without paying alot or nothing?

Question

its an aftermarket

Answer 1

You have to buy it.

Answer 2

Try downloading it off a p2p program (just watch out for viruses) or ask around for a Corporate copy.

The corporate copy wont ask to be registered, and will pass all Micro$oft$ genuine validation stuff, so M$ will never know :D

And Micro$oft are more worried about companies who pirate 30 - 40 coppies of software then a single user. It would cost microsoft more in legal fees to chase down a single user then it is worth

ps.. if you do choose to do it illigaly... You take responsibilty for your own actions. It is up to you to do the right thing...

If you pay nothing, then you can get in trouble with Microsoft as they are getting really upset about pirating their OS's. To buy a cheap/discounted version of XP, I would go to a local PC repair shop and see if they have any copies of XP for sale. Either that or check on places like Amazon.com or Ebay.com. If you do find a pirated copy of Windows and are able to install it on your computer, I would advise not using Windows Update as it can get you in trouble with Microsoft.
