Windows xp, is this legit?

I need to get a copy of Windows XP.  Is this legit?.  I know that there are un-authorized copies on Ebay.

Thanks for the reply but I forgot that the OS must be in French as it is for the spouse  :duh:.

I don't know if the disks listed are legal but Windows XP supports more than 100 languages and dialects so any XP disk should work. A friend bought a used laptop with XP (English) and I set it up to Spanish (Guatemala), installed the Office language pack and it all worked out just fine.

Can you borrow a computer with XP to test? All you need is a person who reads French to change it back to English after the test.
