virtual environment to run Windows. The MacBooks are designed to be dual boot,
with Windows installed on a second partition. There is no need to spend $’s
on a licence for the virtual software, nor any worry about the Windows
licencing. There is no site licence that covers Windows OS’s; just
upgrades. (You will find that Windows available under “Work at Home”
conditions is not permitted to be installed on DEEDC provided notebooks.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Have tried both Parallels and VMware Fusion. I decided to go
with Fusion, it seems to have an edge with performance. My IT department opted
to spend money on a multi user license to cover all the Mac Users, can't
complain about that.. Set your XP VM at 512MB, any more and the time to start
and save increases. Check with your IT department as to the licensing issue for
XP. If they don't have a site license that you can be covered by, Win XP used
to cost around $35 for a teacher. To boost your Mac, may I suggest you max out
your RAM, it is $100 well spent.<o:p></o:p></p>
