Legally? Probably newegg.com

Windows XP Home OEM $99: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511

Professional is $189 I think.

Regarding which you should get, depends what you're doing. Home should be more than sufficient enough if you're just a regular user, however if you intend on mapping more than 10 network drives, then you should get Windows XP Pro.

I just picked up a 64bit Vista OEM version from Newegg.com. Good prices, good service.
