xp pro $180? That's a bit high. It should be closer $130, IIRC..

No idea where you think you are getting XP, but an OEM copy of XP Pro (which must be purchased with hardware and technically cannot move from one PC to another) is at least $150, and RETAIL copies, the ones you will typically find in a brick and mortar store, is going to be $200 and up.

Ok, I was a little off, it's $140-145, but I think I saw it for $130 somewhere.

Keep in mind you are referring a link to OEM software, not retail software. Make sure you read this:

" All OEM software including the operating system is 100% non-refundable once purchased and delivered. OEM versions are intended for system builders only and cannot be transferred to another PC once it is installed."

Typically you can also only purchase OEM software if you also purchase hardware with it.
