Just to have an icon of evil..
I'd heard rumors you can order a disc with XP SP2 on it, for free, from MS's website.
Granted, I don't own a copy of XP, legit or otherwise.
I don't really want to. But if I need something to call on in some dank, Hellblazer-ish incantation, an SP2 disc would come in handy.
I can't find the exact page though. Anyone else know what it is?

Re: XP SP2 isn't evil enough.
Had an HP in the shop today. Bad sector killed the registry, fried modem, probably took a mild lightning hit. Replaced the modem, surface scanned the drive to mark the bad block, copied the registry from system restore, came right back up.
Did a spyware/virus scan. Zero. Zilch. Nada. This is unusual, EVERY machine has some kind of crap on it, if nothing other than some tracking cookies. Did I mention the customer had no antivirus/antispyware at all?
The machine came from HP with Netscape 7 as the default browser.
