XP Pro for $39....?

Somebody posted a link a while back to MS where "developers" could buy XP Pro for $39 or something to that effect. Would somebody kindly post that link again?

Hi LawyerRon,

I thought I saved a link to it, but couldn't find it on my system...

I did find it by searching the forum though! It's Here

I ordered mine about 5 weeks ago and it's still not here.....

Cool

Fuze it's true. I got mine last summer. Along with XP PRO I got a bag of chew, a baseball & bubblehead doll.

HERE is the link. The promotion is finally over after being extended several times. It's not a bad idea to keep checking back though as they will likely have another promo of some sort soon.

I received mine very quickly, maybe they ran out and are having to put together some more kits.

With a new version of XP likely in the near future I think there will be another promo soon.

Wheww.... Just got mine ! I was beginning to wonder if something not-so-nice happened...

Dang, the box was bigger than my last order from NewEgg.com with a mobo! Like some said, it came with some goodies, too. Like a bobble head doll, an XP baseball in a clear display case, some bubble gum "chew", baseball cards, and, of course, XP Pro Full Version.

Now all I have to do is build a box with it...

Hi sam21,

Just follow the links to be a "partner."

Don't think it is legal, as it clearly states Not for Resale or Redistribution. Besides, I got it for myself, anyway!
