Although I can't go for financial reasons (i'm in college), I am anxiously waiting for XP. I've heard good things about the OS. The only bad things i've heard about are about Micro$oft increasing their monopoly and about the avalibility of raw sprockets to any program. Not big enough reasons for me not to get it, especially since i'm stuck with ME on my current system.

The literature I was sent by MS last week for the UK seminars was that each attendee got a full OEM version in mid November - early December via a mail-in coupon.

Yes it is the real deal
