Windows XP sources

I use a Mac for everything except one thing. My data logger's software only works on Windows. So I bought a second-hand laptop to use with it, and it's a pain in the neck. It's hard drive is too small to accomodate video (which my data logger can overlay) and the thing won't recognize my printer.

My Intel-based Mac can run Windows, I learned. But I need a copy of Windows to install on it. At a quick glance, it looks like I'm staring at $200 or so for the software. On Ebay, it looks like I can get it for about $80. It's a pain to pay for an operating system I'll hardly ever use, but there you go.

My questions:

Is there a cheaper source for Windows, out there? I need Windows XP, SP2 or later.

And while I have Windows' guys ears: what's the command to take a screen snapshot in Windows?
