[QUOTE="ovbg, post: 1076615, member: 162687"] Maybe I'm misunderstanding here, but I do not see why you need to pay $800. Windows Home Premium is about $170 or so, and possibly cheaper if you look for it. Likewise, if you previously owned a windows PC, you may have recieved a Windows disk. If it's an OEM version it may have problems installing on different hardware, but that depends on the OEM version. If it is a full version, you should be able to use that license on your Mac, but you will have to cancel the license on your PC. Check all the stuff that came with your previous laptop or PC. Usually a windows disk is issued with it. If you don't have the disk, you may still have your license key (often a sticker on the bottom of a laptop or back of a PC). You could borrow a friends disk and try your license key for the bootcamp installation. [/QUOTE]
