4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with VMware Fusion Mac, September 26, 2007
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2B for System Builders - 1 Pack [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I bought this because the Microsoft OS is not supported at all when used in virtual machines. I have never personally owned anything other than Macintosh, and built my own virtual machine using this version from Microsoft. I was concerned this version would not work, but it works well as a virtual machine under these circumstances. It is cheaper than buying the full version, and since I'm building my own system, it meets the terms of the End User Agreement.

1.0 out of 5 stars Caution !, August 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2B for System Builders - 1 Pack [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Take caution with buying Operating Software on Amazon.

I would advise anyone attempting to buy an Operating System over the internet to think three times about your decision. There are a gamet of scamers out there selling unregisterable copies of Microsoft Operating System Products. If the site you are trying to buy the software from does not list the company name, or seller name, or company address, or telephone number you should be weary of getting involved. I made a recent purchase of a Microsoft O.S. product only to find out that it was a copy never meant for the general public and was not registerable with Microsoft. I did manage to get my money back and send the product back to the seller. I would advise you to buy locally on this kind of product.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am rating this editon more than the OS(which is only 3 stars!), October 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2B for System Builders - 1 Pack [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
despite the license agreement(which is posted as a warning quite adequetly by Amazon and product company OEM sleeve, informing customers) this is essentially Windows XP full editon with only one difference, a slight rigidity to different configuatins beyond the retail. In the retail you have a marginal bit of difference in the tollerence of new components, namely a new hard disk in this you do not. otherwise, it works the same and can be installed on a partition numourous times(if it is the same partition!). If you are a "system Builder" that, I assume includes amatures like me who build for themselves too. This is also the edition given at the PC retails(if you are lucky to get anything at all from the schebs) but legally, they are supposed to issue you a full copy!
