Rating: 5 out of 5 - XP for MacOS X 10.5
I purchased this product to install it on my MacBook using Boot Camp. I carefully followed the Boot Camp Assistant instructions and successfully partitioned the disk and installed Windows XP without a glitch. To me this is the lowest cost way to have XP on an Intel based Mac if you can live with the hard boot required to switch between OSs.

Rating: 4 out of 5 - Great service but not so great Windows
I ordered Windows XP and it arrived a lot sooner than expected. It was wrapped in its original packaging just like they said. However, after about 3 days it started to act weird.

So, either Microsoft is completely nuts (probably true) or this software that Amazon and others are trying to sell is illegal.

UPDATE: I found the COA sticker in my ... Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 - It's Windows XP SP2 - Any Questions?
Ok, like the title says; It's Windows XP SP2. So what don't we all know about it by this point in time?

Personally I prefer to use my Macs over my PC, but this purchase was for my dad so he could still use Quicken 2008 and Family Tree Maker on his new iMac. Neither of those programs are well represented on the Mac, so Dad prefers to use Parallels running Windows XP to use the versions from his newly retired Windows notebook. It's a workable but clumsy solution until better Mac versions become ... Read More
