| DH is running XP on his Mac (mine's an older one just running OSX). He looked at Boot Camp, but decided on Parallels Desktop instead. I can't remember why and he's not home to ask right now!

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | How does this work and where do I get it? Do I still need to buy Windows xp to load? Bootcamp is already on my imac, from what i understand i just need to buy windows xp to use it with bootcamp. |

Anyway... if you already have bootcamp loaded on to your imac then you should probably just use it and see how you like it. Yes... all you need is windows xp. I don't know if you can still purchase it because of microsoft vista that is taking the place of xp. I know a few people who used boot camp and parallels (sp) and they hated it... so I went to the apple site and read reviews of all three and vmware had the most possitive... I think it just depends on the person and how you are going to use it. I have to use windows xp for online school and because I had to be careful about the freezing and rebooting of the other two because all my hw and tests might be lost. I hope this helps
