Where can you buy the international version of Windows XP Pro in Korea? Does anyone know how much it costs? I'm open to ordering from a reputble dealer in the states (I already got scammed with a fake passed off as legit from New Zealand).

I'd love to switch over to Linux completely, but my wife is computer illiterate and needs windows for banking, Korean browsing (a lot of it just doesn't work in Firefox yet), and other business stuff. The illegal copy that came with our computer is getting too buggy, which is annoying without support and original disks.

Go to the Microsoft kiosk on the 8th floor of i'park mall (upstairs at Yongsan station).

It is probably the ONLY place you will get a legit copy of English Windows here in Korea.

Do they have a website? I very rarely go to Seoul.
