Windows XP on my Mac with Bootcamp

[sloter]

So it is the full version, just without the box and manual and stuff? The cd is no different than the one that comes in the box? Also, is there only one product key on it that you can use, so like only one computer can download it?

 

Yes.

Found a good website that is selling it, but it is also an OEM version and I dont know what that means. But on the website, it says it will work with Bootcamp, so that is good. Can someone tell me if it is good?

If Newegg wants my business they can simplify their search.

How is their search difficult at all? I just typed "XP SP3" and found what he needed in 5 seconds...

 

I would tend to agree with you. Some people are handy capped. Hint: mac.

I apologize for not being tech savvy enough to use Linux. I guess flaming an operating system and another's computer preference is hip these days. But let us refrain from inciting flames, eh?

 

 

 

I looked up 'Windows XP OEM' and didn't find anything then tried 'Windows XP,' saw the 'system builders' and skipped it - user error. Both the OP and I had difficult in knowing what 'system builder' referred to.

OEM:

 

 

 

An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components which are purchased by a second company and retailed under the second company's brand name.

 

 

 

Basically, if you buy an OEM disk, your system will be 'branded' with the logo of the manufacturer that the disc was made for. OEM disks are usually cheaper as well.

 

 

 

But, don't worry about that, it really doesn't mean anything.
