All have it for free lol.

You must be a total tight-arse if you think £30 is too extravagant.

I snapped up Snow Leopard, and I'll snap this up as well – I have XP installed (not Vista), so it's a fairly significant upgrade for my Windows partition.

Hmm, I currently have XP installed on one partition, and 80gb unallocated space on the other (cause I'm waiting for Win7) - but it's the version, so would I have to install XP on that partition too, use my legit key, and then upgrade Win7 through that? is it even possible to dual boot XP with XP?

Unless future information reads differently, it seems you will have to install XP and then upgrade, yeah.

I also see no reason why you can't have two installations of XP on different partitions.
