[QUOTE="Noels, post: 692974, member: 49942"] XXBobbXX, Zoolook is correct about OEM software. That said, the OEM version can also be installed on your Mac if it doesn't get installed anywhere else; ie, single installation. So yes, you can use that OEM version. It's the same one I bought from Newegg and used. I also have OEM XP software installed on PCs that I have built for myself. If you install it on your Mac, you are considered the system builder and are responsible for maintenance of the installation. Many folks on Mac-Forums have bought that same software from Newegg, so I would feel comfortable using it in Boot Camp. I would say 32GB is the max you should partition for Windows... I read somewhere that more than that complicates exchange between Windows and Mac OS X. [/QUOTE]
