    well, this is the deal, I bought the xps with vista premium. I want to format the computer and install xp.
    BUT! I don’t have a legal xp installation. I am working for an education institute, and I have the opportunity to buy an xp upgrade at 15$.. really silly price...
    I want to know, if I’ll format the computer and than install illegal xp copy, and than install the upgrade copy and do some kind of update to the activation key for the legal activation key. will it work?
    I really want to get a legal copy of xp but the prices are too expensive...
    what do u think?
    p.s
    Through this education institute deal, i can only get Upgrade Xp Installation...
    so thats a ***** :/
