Rating: - didn't kill my MBP : )
I purchased this for my MacBook Pro. using bootcamp it worked fine; although the install failed the first time, but i figured since it was windows, working on the first try was too much to expect. I was going to give it only three stars because I am disappointed in just how bare bones it is right out of the box, but since it hasn't crashed my mac yet and its not Vista, i give it four stars
Rating: - Great for putting Windows on an Intel Mac
I bought this so that I could run windows on my Macbook. One of the big advantages over Vista is that it uses much less HD space which for me was quite important (given it's a laptop). It runs well using bootcamp and I've yet to have any problems with it.
I recommend buying this if you want to run Windows on your Mac, which for some things is essential.
The only reason I've rated it 4 stars is because I don't actually like Windows as an OS particularly but for what I needed it for it's doing its job well.
Rating: - XP on a MAC
I bought Widows XP to run on a MAC under Parallels. This full version works perfect. It seems to run faster on the MAC than my old PC. Parallels requires a full XP version, that is why this one costs more. It is worth it if you want to run Windows software on a MAC. I am happy with the way this works. You can actually 'cut and paste' between the two operating systems in Coherence mode.

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition UPGRADE with SP2
I ordered this item by mistake, not realizing that it was just an upgrade, so all I can say is it arrived in great shape and quickly.
Rating: - XP and Parallels, Quite a Team
Last year at this time I was a died in the wool Mac person who believed everything Microsoft came from the dark side. Then along came a program I needed to run and they didn't make a Mac version.
What to do? What to do?
Do I buy a new machine, maybe one of those inexpensive Dell laptops or do I try to run Windows in emulation on my new iMac. I decided to give the latter a try and ordered Parallels and Windows XP from Amazon. I installed Parallels without a hitch and when the program asked me to install my Windows' discs I did, followed instructions and I just cannot believe how easily everything went.
But an easy install does not necessarily make for a happy computing experience. It's been several months now and I can't praise XP and Parallels highly enough, because I've had no, none, zero, nada problems with either program on my iMac. They just work. XP has never crashed. Not once. And Parallels has never failed me either.
I've read some of the Parallels reviews and seen that several people are unhappy with their customer support. I've never had occasion to call `em, so I wouldn't know. Likewise with Microsoft, I've never had to pick up the phone, call `em up and ask for help.
I'll admit that most of my work is done in the Mac operating system, but I do use my Windows only database program quite a bit, plus I've also loaded WordPerfect, Corel Draw and Painter a few other Corel programs and they all work swimmingly.
So, three cheers from me for both XP and Parallels. They make quite a team as far as I'm concerned.
Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.
"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.
"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."
The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."
