Hey David, what methods do you recommend to get a copy of XP Pro that will work on the Mac for Fusion and Boot Camp? I don't want to necessarily get a pirateted copy.

A simple no would have sufficed, but there is no pretending here. It can be quite fascilitative to use boot camp to tuck windows onto an intel mac in case your pc burns or whatever. I do agree though, buying xp is a pain. You can still get it though if you want it or you could get vista which Iwouldn't do for a myriad of reasons. Welcome to the list and the growing number who have moved to the Mac. You've already made huge strides it seems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel Proulx" <samuel.proulx@xxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 7:16 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: More new list members! Are you kidding? Paying Microsoft for another XP license, if they'll even sell me one now with vista, is the last thing I wanna do. Then, of course, I'd get to sort out jaws authorizations; I'm out of those, too. I've got an XP machine I can grab if I need it already, I don't need my macbook to pretend to be Xp, and in fact I'd rather it didn't.

Hi,Thanks for the welcome! I've been meaning to post an intro message tothe list, but I just got my Mac 2 days ago, and I've been so busy doing things that I never got round to it. So, on the theory better late than never: I'm a 19 year old male from Toronto, Canada. I've used Windows sinceI was 10 years old, and other than basic linux administration, this ismy first experience switching OS's. I'm impressed that In just two days, I've been able to get my mail, rss, and web browsing set-up, as well as install xcode and fink to get all the linux tools I'm used to from my server administration. I've also got google talk and skype set up with little difficulty, and installed ogg and flac support for itunes/quicktime after some fighting. Other than MSN and a decent word processor (text edit is missing features I need), I have everything I need to make the OSX machine my main working machine. I tried to get MSN going, but Messenger for Mac doesn't make voiceoverhappy. I can't use a jabber transport with IChat because I need filetransfers. Once I do some basic research on these questions, I'll probably end up posting to the list about them. But I'll google, first. <grin> The reason I decided to switch in the first place isbecause my Windows machine blue-screened in the middle of a universitylecture, and I lost an entire class's worth of notes. A week before that, the university network infected me with a virus, even though I run an up-to-date virus checker and windows updates. I don't have time to deal with that stuff. Even if I can never do my assignmentson OSX for lack of a proper Microsoft Word replacement, at least I cantake notes in text edit with less risk of crashes in the midst of class. Thus far, this machine has never been rebooted, other than to install software updates. On 11-Dec-07, at 11:54 PM, Keith Reedy wrote:Hi folks and welcome new list members.
