You may want to put a note on that Windows XP offer that you need to set 
up a .Net Passport account to get this offer.

In my opinion, that is like asking someone to give up their privacy, 
security, and personal life. Big Brother at his best. But that's just my 
opinion.

Take care.

The $49 XP Pro offer is only for official Microsoft partners.  You are
able to fill out the form to order it (and submit your credit card
info).  But, a few weeks later you will get an e-mail from Microsoft
asking you to confirm your Partner status.

The last time you had this on your site I bought it with out a problem and 
I am not a channel partner.  In addition, when you get the box and install 
the version of XP they send you have to activate it via the phone or 
Internet just like you would the Home edition.  They make no indication of 
this when ordering.  To the best of my knowledge, when you activate it, you 
have to give them quite a bit of information.

FYI... this deal went through the first time for me
when it was first posted.  It took a while to get and
was limited to one per person/company.  Just get a
relative to be "lastname.com" or something easy and
they can get a copy too... or give it to you.

Great site!
