Can't you still get 98 OEM ? ... you still can where I am ! So I'm even more confus-ed than usual ! ... but for now I shan't be doing any of that ! Especially since xp pro costs 1.5x as much

But err have you never heard of 2nd hand ? I dunno if I've completed shall we say 'the formalties' as far as licensing transfer goes - but I'm often able to procure 'old' copies for clients from new rollouts as/when they want them ...
