Tenuously on-topic... Cheapest way to get WinXP..

Only on-topic if  HA covers PC <-> mobile-phone interaction :)

A friend had a Nokia 9100 - the old brick-like communicator.
Well, after capsizing his boat with it in his pocket it stopped working!

So he got a Nokia 9300 from the insurance payout.

But... he only runs windows 98 (his little old lady accountant of X
decades makes all her clients run the same OS) and it won't work with '98.

No original windows disks (pre-installed probably) so he's looking at
£150 as the retail cost of XP - nice!


So what's the cheapest way to get a legit copy?
I've seen 'OEM' versions providing you buy some hardware - any other ideas?

David
