Hello everyone, I would need some help in solving an irregular question. I have a NGO organization that use 5 computers and I am looking to buy 5 licenses for Windows XP SP2 and 5 licenses for Microsoft Office 2000. I would like to mention that I got no interest in other versions of Windows and Office, and no interest in Open Source software or free alternatives. I’ve been digging around www.microsoft.com but did not find a clear answer where could I buy these packages. I am disparate to urgently buy these products wherever they are sold, but it must be real licensed software. Could anyone help me with links or addresses to some trusted shops/dealers with good prices or anything? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

For XP, check out M$ Volume Licensing - it is for non-governmental organization (NGO) that uses five or more computers. If it is less than five computers you will need to get it retail.
As for M$ Office 2000 I doubt M$ still sell this software so you might want to try Amazon.com (avoid eBay).

I think MSoft is discouraging the sale of any bulk licencing for WinXP, if not outright stopped it. You can however find OEM WinXP pro in single and 3 pack configurations. As far as Office 2000 goes I didn't find one vendor offering it. Office 2003 seems to still be available. Below are a couple of links to reputable vendors. Additionally you can try at Pricewatch.com. If you find a vendor that seems to have what you want I suggest you then go to Resellerratings.com to see how others feel about that vendor. If no listing or short time period I suggest not dealing with them. Of course you want good ratings.
You might find what you want here? I have never used this outlet------- it's a URL that I saved month's ago. If I was going to buy that much software I would contact their Home page and negotiate a price for the whole package and a guarantee of the products.
