Jim,

The school library should have the software at a greatly reduced rate due to
negotiated discounts with Microsoft. We got Windows XP Pro and Office XP for
10.00 each through Indiana University. When I looked at some of the CAD
software it was pretty expensive but I think it was still a pretty good buy.

If you wait, your kid can probably get Windows XP Professional through
the school for next to nothing.
My wife got it for $10.00 US 2 years ago.
