There is also the issue of getting the trial version. It would take
days / weeks to download using my limited-time dial-up connection,
although I might have a trial version on one of my many old magazine
over CDs.

I really wouldn't want to run a hacked and potentially unstable OS on
this work computer*, plus it could mean other software / hardware I
need won't run or work properly without being updated since I don't
have the disk space for yet another OS to optionally boot into.

* 10.2 is annoying enough when it decides to semi-randomly go to 
  sleep mid-doing something and not wake up, requiring a full 
  forced reboot.  :o(
