Can a college student purchase a copy of MS XP for only $10 from the college she is attending?

It depends on the school.  Many schools especially ones with strong engineering/CS departments have relationships with Microsoft.  I got XP for $12 at my school

Most of the universities get the license for windows and let the students have their softwares at cheap rates. I got XP pro for $20.

Do you mean that you want to download Windows XP?\n\nNot something I'd recommend doing - I know you can get hold of copies illegally but who knows what other stuff is going to be bundled in with it.  You could end up causing yourself no end of problems.\n\nBetter to go out and buy a legitimate copy, they're not that much, plus you get warranties/guarantees and proper updates etc.\n\nIf it's instructions that you're after then you don't need any as it's all self explanatory during the installation procedure.

Apple do! Just put in your college/institution and then you get some kind of discount - not sure how much though. Its available on most if not all of their products.

You could probably download a trial version from the microsoft website. If you want to purchase it, don't do it directly from them, because you will pay top dollar. Do some research first and see who has the best price.

You aren't an economics major, are you?  People don't give away $375 worth of software (what is costs those of us who are no longer in school) on laptops they're selling for $500.\n\nBTW, laptops are so expensive, people usually don't sell them until they are broken, or sorely outdated.  I'd look around in the sale papers on Sundays until you find one that's got at least a 1.5ghz Celeron M or faster processor.  You probably should go to/call your college bookstore, they may very well have a good deal or two.\n\nAlso, you'll want to add a 512MB So-DIMM (notebook memory) to whatever you buy, because 256MB is just enough to boot into Windows these days.  Newegg has them at really good prices: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=381  Just make sure that the laptop you pick out has all of the features you are looking for, because it's not possible to add anything other than memory to a laptop.

It's not the COA that determines if XP is legal.  It's the 25 digit product key that determines if it's legit.  If the product key  was used to activate other copies of XP, Microsoft might have declared the product key as invalid and any computer that used that key will no longer pass the validation scan.  Or the machine might have a corporate copy of XP Pro on it.  Microsoft will probably offer to sell you a new electronic upgrade for $149. to make your XP Pro legal. Or you can buy your own install disk with a never before used product key.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/whyValidate.aspx\n\nplrr

I imagine there are places to do it, however they are all illegal, as Excel is a licensed software product made by Microsoft.  If you are a college student, they offer a special version at around $20 on campuses...

If you're talking about Microsoft Office Student/Teacher Edition - any retailer will sell it without proof of student teacher status, and no proof is need to activate it with Microsoft.

Just go to an online store such as Amazon or Dabs, buy a mouse and you can get the o.e.m. version of XP for £60.

You can't. The software is only valid with the serial number. Otherwise, you must purchase a new copy. If I were you, however, I would call Microsoft customer service just in case.

A student, where, in High school or College.  If you are in college the bookstore likely has Microsoft products at a student discount rate, so check there first.  If you are not in college or don't even want to pay the discount rate you can check out a freeware and open source Office package called OpenOffice it is very similar to and compatible with Microsoft Office and includes everything that it would, check it out at, http://www.openoffice.org/

How did you get a legal copy of XP Pro Corporate Edition? That;s for use by corporations running legal networks. And yes, it will require the "dreaded" Windows Activation. Buy a legal copy and get off the pirated software.

to do this legally, you need to purchase an additional upgrade licence from microsoft.\n\nif you dont care about the legality, u need an XP home Cd and install key. Just pop the cd in the drive and let it auto run.

you can get it on most P2P programs but it will be hard to get updates for your computer then....unless you go to http://www.autopatcher.com to get them. they have all of the updates for XP without the validation step. be sure you get the XP Pro Corp edition....it never has to be registered. um....or so I have heard! :-)\n\n-Doc-
