And just as illegal as Devils Own.

OEM copies are not legal without hardware being purchased with it. "Original
Equipment Manufacturer".

Your best just buying a new copy out right.

I have XP Pro Version 5.1 running but I do not have the original XP disk.
I
tried to install the various upgrades via download as well as with a
service
pack 2 disc. I get an error message that I have an unregistered copy of
XP &
therefore can't do the upgrades. Can I purchase & install XP PRO as an
upgrade or do I have to buy the full program? Also, what if I want to
but
a lower version of Windows rather than XP Pro.

Buy an OEM. They're cheaper.
