ISU MS software discounts rule. ;P I got Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows 2000 Professional from ISU at $5 a pop. Too bad I'm no longer a student(I've already graduated). I still know people who can get me MS software from ISU at $5 a pop, but I didn't have any reason to go that route with Windows XP because the ISU version wasn't Corporate(according to one of my ISU buddies). ;(
I like on the ISU versions of Windows how the Product Key is built into the installation. That is really handy because it saves me the trouble of having to input the key when I install Windows and I can never lose my CD key.

Good question. I'm sure they are out there and I'm sure the businesses(and government) who can afford to run Win2K Datacenter server legally also have access to and own those rare 32 CPU x86 boxes. ;P
