 Used with bootcamp March 31, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I used this copy of XP with bootcamp for my mac. Worked flawlessly. I have no Idea what the difference is between this version and the others. I HIGHLY recommend this copy of XP to all Bootcamp users (mac). It's basically XP for mac! :) :) :)
 Virtual Desktop Use March 26, 2008

If you are considering this for a virtual desktop, this version is perfect and affordable. I ordered VMware Fusion and just followed the easy guide and after about 30-40 minutes everything was loaded, copied and finalized automatically.
I gave a rating of 4 stars because I prefer the mac system over it, but for the price, and what I am using it for, it is perfect. I would only use this version over vista and others because your mac will run quicker. Eventually you may want to have at least 2gb of ram, but I am using 1gb which is recommended and it is fine.
A note if you get VMware. It has a seamless "unity" option where you literally could not tell you were in xp. Once in that view mode, just click the application tab on the top and xp is at your fingertips!
Enjoy!
 Does what it's supposed to do. March 22, 2008

I bought this product to use on a partition on my iMac. I use it to run some software that's not available for Macintosh. So far so good; it runs without any particular problems and the software I use with it seems to run OK too. As are most things from Microsoft it's clunkier to use than the Macintosh side of the hard drive, e.g files are harder to find, but it does the job. If you have to use Windows but don't need a lot of extra functions, this is the cheapest way to do it.

I really enjoy having windows xp. It has definitely improved the speed and the functioning of my computer. I also love the way it warns you about certain downloads and how you can use more than one window at a time. The internet is also faster. I give this product 5 stars.
Beats Vista March 18, 2008

If you need microsoft, this is the version to get. Don't waste your money on vista. You will pull your hair out. XP works fine, vista does not.
End of story.
