[QUOTE="seasurfer, post: 555497, member: 40917"] I have an OEM copy of Vista which I just bought from newegg. I also have an OEM copy of XP which came along with my Dell and my Fujitsu tablet 1 year ago. I really don't which to buy another copy of XP. Can someone kindly tell me which is the best combination? Vista running in fusion or parallels? Which has better support and which one is faster, more stable? XP running in fusion or parallels? Which has better support and which one is faster, more stable? I had already installed my Vista under Boot Camp but I have not connected it to the internet yet, therefore not activated yet. My question is if I get it activated under boot camp, will I be able to use it in Fusion or Parallels? It is the same computer, therefore same hardware, I really don't want to get into those activation trouble, anyone has any experience in this? I have a MacBook Pro 15.4 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM 200GB HD. I will be using windows mainly for Office, running some small files that are not able to run in leopard, occasionally playing games....not sure what game yet. [/QUOTE]
