Still I have to wonder if you buy a XP CD who does the support for you? Usually isn't that covered bythe poor hardware vendor?
If you buy a retail boxed copy, you get support directly from Microsoft. That's one of the reasons you pay a premium to get it that way.
If you buy the OEM edition, a little flat package with a peel-off sticker to put on the case, YOU have just become the hardware vendor and you're on your own.
