[QUOTE="NolaWegs, post: 555594, member: 21372"] Both OS's will be able to run off your existing bootcamp partition (at least through fusion as that is the only virtualization program i use). You shouldn't have any activation problems, although you may need to go through the procedure more than one, this is a hassle but VM claims that it is a necessary step. I agree with louishen, in using xp of vista it's just a better OS. also, if you're looking to use xp for office, I would strongly consider making the investment in macOffice. It'll make you're life loads easier. As far as the gaming goes, I would recommend fusion for that as it seems to work a bit better with games in general; however, for more advanced gaming it would be better to just run those through an xp boot rather than fusion. hope this helps.
