TO ANYONE :
i am going nuts with all the secrecy, deception, over-pricing, different twists,spins and you name it from everyone ( it seems ) all the way from Microsoft ( greedy corp. gouger ) to deceptive, misleading individuals/companies when to comes to just a simple persons desire to build 2 new economical PC's FOR HIS FAMILY and put the OS WINDOWS XP PRO SP3 on them without a.) paying an arm and leg and b.) having MS tell me on my P C that my copy of XP is not Genuine.
I know for a fact that this has become to a large degree a subject of ethics.morals,money, fairness to all especially computer techees which i'm not . The little guy seems to continue to get screwed.
On one hand i can't afford what MS wants to charge me for a so called legit copy of XP Pro sp3 but on the other hand I don't want to get screwed by people out there trying to take advantage of the under-informed. I have searched lots and lots of websites like amazon, newegg.tiger direct,pricewatch etc. etc. and many more and have read dozens of customer reviews and am still trying to find somebody/company that is not intimidated by Microsoft and will help me figure out the best way to aquire 2 good working copies of MS XP Pro with good product key codes that will not just work for a day or weekor month. You guys know what I mean...
Any body out there like that??? Any help or advice out there I would greatly and sincerely appreciate even to the extent of a phone call on my dime.
Thank You !
