$68 looks a little sketchy to me for Windows XP/SP2 64-bit Edition.Here

Thanks for the reply:Raised my eyebrows too. NewEgg is my default source for just about everything too, but this listing did make me raise my eyebrows a bit.Respectfully:RTH

I looked them up on Reselleratings.com but could not locate their company. As far as the Academic edition goes, you need to be in college or school or be a teacher from what I've readhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/eula/home.mspxACADEMIC EDITION SOFTWARE. To use Software identified as "Academic Edition" or "AE," you must be a "Qualified Educational User." For qualification-related questions, please contact the Microsoft Sales Information Center/One Microsoft Way/Redmond, WA 98052-6399 or the Microsoft subsidiary serving your country.

I saw your post regarding "Clearance Media" on "Google," and wanted to provide an account of my experience. I ordered a copy of Windows XP Pro on 6/8/09, at a few minutes 'til midnight. The cost was $93.00, VERY reasonable; the shipping was $10.35, a bit pricey for UPS Ground (delivery in 5 - 10 days), in my opinion. However, considering that my order was placed just minutes before midnight, I feel it only fair to start the delivery "countdown" as of June 9th rather than June 8th. Anyway, I was pleased when my order arrived at 10:30 a.m. June 16th - achieving delivery within five days (excluding the weekend), the shortest of the delivery estimate timeframe. While I have not yet loaded my new OS, I do not anticipate any problems. It is in the original, hermetically heat-sealed, plastic sleeve, contains the Product Key, Serial Number, and all the official markings usually found on Microsoft Windows OS discs, and the "recorded surface" appears to be pristine, containing no lines, markings, scratches, or blemishes of any kind. Ergo, I consider this - my first and only experience with "Clearance Media" - to be quite satisfactory. Of course, mine is but one story. There are surely many others, and hopefully a number of people will respond as I did, thus providing more data on which to judge the company's overall level of customer satisfaction.Regards,zenovice
