Cheers Man! - much appreciated :-), but I guess you'll have to buy a few more beers! I'm old skool so I have brought previously Windows 3.0, 3.1, 95, XP, NT. Kinda shows my age here! (not forgetting MSDOS) :-)

Dude, I don't think anyone in Gunma has an unopened, unregistered, original copy of XP just lying around their house. And if they did they may have fingerprints on it so I guess it would be no use to you.
Try ebay. Or just download it for free like everyone else.

I agree, it's pointless asking someone to sell you an unopened, unregistered, legit version of windows XP. But, you can purchase a retail copy of Home Edition here: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/3top/10004675/

Mate I fail to see why I need to justify myself?, and how you know what people have lying around in their house to sell? unless you are the all seeing knowing all oracle?

Thank you for your suggestion of ebay this is appreciated, however telling me to download it for free - in case you didn't know its piracy and a criminal offence.

If you want to discuss this further I'll be happy to in the general discussion forum.

I'm sure you can get in

I'm sure you can get in Akihabara where they sale electronics and software for non-Japanese speakers.

No worries chaps, I managed

No worries chaps, I managed to get an english one from yahoo jp auctions in the end. You'll be suprised how many people are downgrading from Vista back to XP.

as for the piracy issue, i don't think its worth discussing. cause it is a criminal offence and its not worth having people getting fined, arrested, and/or fired over.

Stealing from the theives

You're right, piracy is illegal. And the Gajet website is not a place to be promoting this illegal and immoral act.
Fuji-san congratulations on your legal purchase of a virgin copy of XP. I agree you don't have to justify yourself, but you have to admit, the chances of scoring an unopened copy of a 7 year old program off someone in gunma was a little far fetched.

No prints on these!

Perhaps Fuji is keen on picking up a virgin too? I've got a couple in my cupboard. Unopened and never been touched. Ha Ha Ha.
