[QUOTE="chscag, post: 718136, member: 46727"] Lot of questions..... Download the student version provided it's a full install copy including SP2 and burn it to a CD. (the CD has to be bootable) That will save you money and maybe some headaches. OEM copy of WinXP SP2 for $85.00 is the same as the MS retail copy with the restrictions you mentioned. Can only be installed on one machine and can not be moved even if the machine dies. :Angry-Tongue: (that's what the MS EULA specifies) Parallels, Fusion, versus Boot Camp: You can use the same copy of XP but it will have to be activated separately for Boot Camp and once again for the virtual machine version. Regards. [/QUOTE]
