Not a problem for me, I don't expect any support from MS.
Just imagine how upset they'd be if they found out I'm still running
Win98 on my 560X.
Or DOS 5.0 on my palmtop.
They offered the same price (under $50 plus shipping) for the XP disks
which is probably a good price if XP is what you want. I wonder what
happens if you call up and ask for recovery disks for something too old
to run XP?
Would I be within my rights to use a copy of someone else's recovery
disks?
I've got the WIN2K COA sticker on the underside of the computer.
