Homemade CD with a number written on it, or an OEM disk and a sticker? With millions of sealed retail packages distributed, I'm sure there is a quantity of them available from various outlets.Ī big clue there is if it is a shrink wrapped retail box, Home versions are typically much less expensive than "premium" versions.Īs for the 'legality' of stores/people selling XP, depends. You still need to provide your own copy of Windows (any flavor). Parallels by itself is about 70$ unless you find it on sale. Yes, Parallels allows running (a number of other OS's) concurrent with the Mac OS. I have also seen netbooks advertised for not too much more than the combo package or are used computers a viable option? (One advantage to these is either would add a new "surf the net" outlet to our household). Is this an OK (will it work and is it legal) way to proceed? I have also found stores (or individuals) who sell Windows XP for much less than Windows 7. Is that correct? Will my computer handle Parallels?

My understanding is Parallels lets you run both Windows and Mac OS at the same time and switch between the two, where BootCamp requires a restart to use the other operating system. That seems like a lot just to do my Taxes.

I also found a "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Full" combo with "parallels Desktop for Mac 6 - OEM" on a third party website for $220. It appears that the$99 versions are only for people upgrading from an earlier version so I need to spend $200 of the "full" version, correct? I went to the Windows 7 website and found many different versions but did not understand which of the variations are required. Other than this yearly use of TurboTax, I do not use Windows computers and therefore know very little about their operation (except for all the problems I hear my friends discuss).

(BTW, Ownership of XP with VPC is not considered upgradeable by MS)

Before that, I used Virtual PC with Windows XP on a Quicksilver G4. This version is only available for Windows computers. This is not for Schedule C companies, but for C and S - Corps that file the 1120 form. Each year, I do my business taxes using TurboTax for Business.
