[QUOTE="opus_az, post: 463104, member: 23566"] Hi... Parallels lets you install Windows XP or Vista so that it runs in your OS X. In other words, Parallels doesn't let you run Office on your Mac, Parallels lets you run Windows XP or Vista on your Mac, and then you run Office from within Windows. [IMG]http://artfulwriter.com/parallels.jpg[/IMG] Here's a picture of what it looks like. You see Windows has a start button and everything. Click start, programs, notepad, and you'll see notepad running inside the Windows 'window'. So, you need to purchase Windows XP or Vista and install it from inside Parallels. In the end you'll open Parallels, start Windows XP or Vista, and then open Office, etc. The Windows XP or Vista are what's called a virtual machine. Parallels is what allows you to have a virtual Windows XP or Vista, but you need a fully licensed and installed Windows. [/QUOTE]
