Honestly, I'd rather not have to if I can avoid it.  I find XP hid
various things in weird and counterintuitive places, and some of the
stupid things they did to the interface seem impossible to turn off.

I do, as it happens, have an XP Pro CD copy that someone left here.  God
only knows what service pack it is or what the key is.
