I want to purchase a copy of XP Tablet PC Edition to run on a Sony VAIO U70.
Although it ships with XP Pro, I know that it can run Tablet as I've read
reviews from people who have tried it.

Everybody seems to be using an MSDN subscription to obtain a copy, but this
is neither practical nor legit as it's not for developing on.

Why can it not be purchased off the shelf?

Please ignore this post, see the previous one. I guess error messages can't
be believed on here either! :)
