Believe it or not, they are selling XP Home (English) for double the price of XP Pro (440,000 won!).

Either way, not going to be cheap. Maybe you can find a used copy on Ebay.

You can still find OEM copies of XP for about 120k in the basement of the place between seon-in plaza and the nanjin arcade at yongsan.

If you are at a public school your IT guy has a copy with a broad/bulk license that you can legally use on your computer at school or for home use (as a teacher).

is there a particular app that doesn't work with Windows 7? The price is nearly the same and works much better than XP - and I'm not even a windows fan but a Linux twiddler. Forget XP if you can - it's nearly 11 years old

Get Windows 7 OEM if you must pay.

Why would anyone actively search out and buy a copy of XP these days? That article is severely outdated. Windows 7 is a great OS. I really see no reason for you to spend so much money on an OS that is over a decade old.

Plus, Microsoft will soon stop supporting XP all together.

Your cheapest option by far

Here's a thought to add to the discussion...

Get Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate (or Enterprise). Then, if you really need to run XP, you can do so in "Windows XP Mode". Basically, it's a real version of XP running inside a window of the 7 OS. It's free with the aforementioned versions of Windows 7.

For the most part, it worked for a couple of legacy programs I needed to run. However, be aware that sometimes the USB support might be flakey. For example, with some corporate email / network access where you need to insert a USB security dongle, it wasn't recognized and I had to use a different system altogether. Otherwise, XP Mode via 7 worked fine for my basic needs.
