Downloading XP

(Which she can't read.) I am not aware that it's made available for
download, but just wanted to check whether I'm right on that before I
open my big mouth. :-)

Never compare yourself to the best others can do,
but rather to the best you can do.

There are plenty of places to download it, but unless she has a Technet
subscription, none are legal. Even at Universities where they can offer
great deals on software to students, it still costs at least $39 I think.
You don't read an iso file though - you burn it to a CD or DVD and then
install from that. (Or you can use specific software like ISObuster to
unpack the files inside the iso.)

No, I was able to download XP from my college, as well as Office 2003,
whatever the version of .NET IDE was at the time, and a bunch of other
stuff. You just had to be enrolled and paying for one of the CS/CIS
courses that required the software.

You're still paying, it's just covered by college fees.

In Soviet Sweden we don't have college fees. ;)
I have an iso that I downloaded from MS while I was briefly enrolled
in a university tech education.

Somehow you're paying. There ain't no such thing yada yada yada...

Hey, I'm no software cop but I suspect the license for that software is
only active while you're actually enrolled.

No, not just while you're enrolled, but you're also not supposed to use
it for anything but 'educational' or personal purposes. You're not, for
example, supposed to use it on a system that you use for any sort of
work or business.
