>I have been at this crossroads before. I would like to buy a couple of new PCs but would like them to bring Windows XP and Office 2003 in English. How can I get them, legally?
I think John's right, you can still buy Dells (maybe HPs, too) with XP pre-installed. The real problem is Office 2003. AFAIK the only way you can get regular consumer product legally is buying used on eBay etc. (caveat emptor).
If you're a developer, one interesting possibility might be Empower for ISVs:
