5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Mac's Boot Camp, March 12, 2007

I needed a full version of XP Pro, with Service Pack 2, to install as the 2nd operating system on my new dual core MacBook. I was a little concerned about purchasing this "system builders" disk, but it costs about 1/2 of the more conventional full versions out there of XP Pro. It worked perfectly, Mac's "Boot Camp" system recognized the disk, allowed the install of the XP operating system, and the software activated with no problem.

Amazon needs to do a better job of who they have selling on their web site. Received obvious copied disc not original windows item. Had bogus code for verification. To make a long story short I went to ebay to buy the un-opened Microsoft version of the software. The software itself works fine, although I am an Mac OS fan which I believe is much more user friendly than Microsoft OS. Needed a windows OS to interface with work computer. Check out the seller before you buy on Amazon, I always check on ebay also which has easier web site to find seller info than amazon.

Please do not buy from this buy (Joel Perez)

What i ordered, was XP Pro for system builders, instead I received the OEM
sealed as if it was new...everything seemed original so i decided to keep it
i gave a good rating to this seller thinking that everything was Ok but a few days later after Microsoft updated itself, the Genuine message came up saying
that copy is NOT GENUINE. When it try to contact that seller, he is not longer available.
