 Great for putting Windows on an Intel Mac September 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this so that I could run windows on my Macbook. One of the big advantages over Vista is that it uses much less HD space which for me was quite important (given it's a laptop). It runs well using bootcamp and I've yet to have any problems with it.
I recommend buying this if you want to run Windows on your Mac, which for some things is essential.
The only reason I've rated it 4 stars is because I don't actually like Windows as an OS particularly but for what I needed it for it's doing its job well.
XP on a MAC September 17, 2008

I bought Widows XP to run on a MAC under Parallels. This full version works perfect. It seems to run faster on the MAC than my old PC. Parallels requires a full XP version, that is why this one costs more. It is worth it if you want to run Windows software on a MAC. I am happy with the way this works. You can actually 'cut and paste' between the two operating systems in Coherence mode.

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition UPGRADE with SP2
I ordered this item by mistake, not realizing that it was just an upgrade, so all I can say is it arrived in great shape and quickly.
 XP and Parallels, Quite a Team September 8, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Last year at this time I was a died in the wool Mac person who believed everything Microsoft came from the dark side. Then along came a program I needed to run and they didn't make a Mac version.
What to do? What to do?
Do I buy a new machine, maybe one of those inexpensive Dell laptops or do I try to run Windows in emulation on my new iMac. I decided to give the latter a try and ordered Parallels and Windows XP from Amazon. I installed Parallels without a hitch and when the program asked me to install my Windows' discs I did, followed instructions and I just cannot believe how easily everything went.
But an easy install does not necessarily make for a happy computing experience. It's been several months now and I can't praise XP and Parallels highly enough, because I've had no, none, zero, nada problems with either program on my iMac. They just work. XP has never crashed. Not once. And Parallels has never failed me either.
I've read some of the Parallels reviews and seen that several people are unhappy with their customer support. I've never had occasion to call `em, so I wouldn't know. Likewise with Microsoft, I've never had to pick up the phone, call `em up and ask for help.
I'll admit that most of my work is done in the Mac operating system, but I do use my Windows only database program quite a bit, plus I've also loaded WordPerfect, Corel Draw and Painter a few other Corel programs and they all work swimmingly.
So, three cheers from me for both XP and Parallels. They make quite a team as far as I'm concerned.

In order for me to install XP home edition I had to have internet access first. Second, I thought I ordered the professional version @ $125.00 but received the Home version. Third I had to pay $129.00 to the geek squad to load the software onto my new computer.
Software obviously are not made for easy loading; in the pass you purchase addition software and it was very easy to load onto your home computer. Had I know this I would have went ahead and purchased the full verion from Best Buy, Circuit City, ie., because I didn't save a penny.
