Free Windows XP

I just found this and thought some other folks might like to know about it.

It's Windows XP - 64-bit Version for free (plus shipping.) But, if you don't have a 64-bit computer, don't bother.

The site says, "This product is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only. It should not be used for production purposes, and should not be placed in a production environment." I thought that last statement applied to all other versions of Windows as well.

Seriously though, I'm not a candidate since I don't have a 64-bit machine, but I can only imagine what a joy (ahem) it must be to work with a preview version of Windows, given my past experiences with the "final" versions of the OS.

Considering how many security flaws there has been in the official XP, I would be very careful using a beta version for any online activity.
