I am not sure how common this is, but check your college library for Windows XP Pro. My college will check out a copy with an activation code and you are allowed to use it on your personal computer as long as you go to the college. If that doesn't work out also check to see if your college offers software sales at a reduced price. I purchased a full copy of MS office for $15 last year. I know they also sell widows operating systems for about the same price.
