 Perfect low cost Windows license for Mac installation February 7, 2009

This pack works great for installing Windows on a Mac. Although the product description says you need it, the Windows Preinstallation Kit (which is not included) is NOT actually required to install the product. It installs fine without it.

Using it on my MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), running Mac OS X, 10.5.6. Works with both Parallels and VMWare. It is only meant to install on one computer, and not to be ever transferred onto another computer.

Let me first say that I am an Apple guy and I don't like using Windows at all. Unfortunately I have to use it a little bit for my business. I tried Vista for a while and found it to be awful!!! This is a much better option and the price it right.
Super product for iMAC September 8, 2009

Purchased this product from Amazon, so no problems with authentication. The reason it is so inexpensive is that there is no extra software (drivers, etc.) included, so unless you are building a PC from scratch this is not the package for PC users. If you are installing it on a MAC, this is everything you need. I am using VMWARE's Fusion 2 so I can "drag and drop" files between Windows and MAC apps, but I understand it works just as well using Bootcamp. It installed esaily and does everything I want it to including MS Office 2007 and 4 specialized database systems including one I wrote using Clarion for Windows. Highly recommend this product for MAC users.
Perfect For Installation On An Intel Mac September 20, 2009

I purchased this for installation on a new MacBook Pro.
Installed Windows XP within Parallels 4.0 with no problems and no additional software/drivers needed. It runs quite fast in this setup, even though it's a "virtual machine" and I am quite pleased. I didn't even bother with Boot Camp.
The only caveats/advisories:
* Make sure you use Windows Update after you install from this CD. Even though it is SP3, there were quite a few security updates released since the this CD was published.
* At the time of this review, you can find copies of a similar product (OEM standalone release) for Vista, and they come with a free coupon for an upgrade to Windows 7. On top of that, they are slightly cheaper than this version of XP, believe it or not. I stuck with XP anyway because I wanted a lighter, faster OS to run as a secondary OS on my MBP.
I used next-day shipping and had my purchase within 18 hours of ordering. I am completely satisfied with Amazon's service and pricing, as usual.
