Is this a typo, or are you referring to something really expensive like Win 2000 advanced server? The OEM version of Windows XP costs less than $90.

I should know; I bought the full version of Windows XP from googlegear.com for 88 bucks. The OEM version of Windows costs less than half of what the retail costs, but you don't get a box or a manual and no tech support. And, you have to purchase it with a hardware item.

That isn't an option if you have a 24k connection like I do
Although I did download the entire Mandrake Linux distribution.. took me about 2 months ;)
