XP is NOT an upgrade.
XP still leaves you chained to Microsoft--even more so than Win98 or Win2000:
XP has Product Activation.
One of these first days, M$ is going to decide to shut down its activation servers
and your copy of XP will be WORTHLESS.
This ASSuMEs that XP will even work on your *existing* hardware.
(I'll bet it won't.)
If your box has 256MB of RAM, this will run on it and won't cost you a dime:
cache of https://shipit.kubuntu.org
It also DOESN'T have Product Activation;
you can put on as many computers as you like--STILL FREE.
...and you DON'T have to *INSTALL* it to try it; it will run from the CD.
