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

By	Techie Lawyer (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent Deal On One Of The Best Operating Systems, May 12, 2007

By	Harold Johnson "storyteller" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After trying pirated versions of Windows XP Pro and then Windows Vista Ultimate, I decided to go with a legal copy of the former and was fortunate to find this version fo System Builders. Since I built my PC, it was perfect, and at a price I could accept. I no longer have to hassle with the pirated software timing out, and honestly, it simply feels better to own the software.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a review of Amazon and the seller not product, June 22, 2009

By	Michael D. Lounsbury (North Idaho) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
