Windows XP...

I really want to take advantage of Boot Camp- but all my copies of Windows are upgrades. I really dont want to blow my birthday money (I am only 15) on a bona fide copy of XP SP2, but...I dont wanna not play good games and use windows xp on my nice shiny black laptop. Is there any where I can get the overprice windows xp sp2 for under like 150$. This is really bothering me, Ive been through so much just to get boot camp to work. Can anyone help me, in any way please. Thanks

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
Google is your friend!
There are dozens of sites that offer Windows XP SP2, just be sure to get a full install. Here's one -

If you prefer XP Pro, then search that out.

Just noting that you mention "shiny black laptop". If you are referring to the MacBook, be sure to know that the video card on that model is not something you will be able to play the latest video games on.

This model uses 64MB of shared ram and though it can use directx and render 3D, it won't do so well as it's bigger siblings (MacBook Pro and Mac Pro). Just FYI.
