Find someone to get you copies from the Company Store.  They're $20 there, I think.

I  sold the ones that came with my dell on Ebay and only got about $70-$80  for them.  So thats what you should be able to get them for on Ebay.

I mean the MS company store.  They're legit, but you've got to know someone who works there.  

And Xbox games cost $20 at the store.

Well I know teheres a windows xp 8in1 iso floating around (also in 5in1 and 6in1 versions) that contains an OEM version of xp (Dell OEM). I dunno if thatll help you as it is warez. Also I dont think the dell oem's will work on non dell machines. I tried my dell oem copy of win2k on my other non-dell comp and it wouldnt install.

You shouldn't have sold bootleg copies... :)


But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

good idea, but some people want to register there software... 98% don't give a crap, but you always get that couple people that are by the book and want to have a legit copy and download all the hot fixes and service packs that they would never need in there lives or know what the hell there about..
