I need to purchase an operating system for a laptop that has no OS or software installed. I prefer Windows XP. Where is the best(cheapest) place to purchase this.
Try this! http://www.cmicomputer.com/product/...
I have bought several things from these people. Good luck!

I have bought several from NEWEGG. XP-Pro, and XP64-Pro. IIRC they last ones were about $130-$140. NEWEGG ships them fast!

probably not, since XP is doing well for personal and business use. Plus to get vista, it's a brand new loaded machine. I wouldn't try upgrading to vista.

AFAIK, XP is Vista's only "serious" competition as far as the horizon - so that won't happen........... and, if anything; the situation with XP's SP3 delivery status is perhaps a clue.
BTW, it would be nice if you posted the full specification of the laptop and what you primarily intend to use the notebook for.

"A legal full retail version of XP Pro w/SP2 will set you back about $300...XP home about $200."
XP home Sp2 OEM about $89.00 to $100.00.
XP Pro Sp2 OEM about $139.00 no need to buy the retail. OEM is cheaper just go to a PC Shop or look on ebay and you will have to purchase hardware with OEM but it can be something as little has an IDE cable."AFAIK, XP is Vista's only "serious" competition as far as the horizon - so that won't happen........... and, if anything; the situation with XP's SP3 delivery status is perhaps a clue."
Sp3 will there be a Sp3?
