The single reason = microsoft.

Legitimacy is up to your own opinion.

Disk is easy...you just need the installation key.

The real problem you'll run into is if the hardware was designed as 'Vista Only' then you won't find drivers for XP. (or you'll have to work to find compatible ones)

My hardware is "vista only'.  What I did was find the version series right before Vista, and download those drivers.  It worked for me, though I do get some freezes sometimes.
