I am going to purchase leopard and I was wondering the limits of the Xp installation. I bought a XP computer last year and it came with a recovery CD. Could I use the recovery cd to load XP or would I have to go out and buy a new version of Windows XP

S2P. And one other question with running windows on a mac, would I still catch viruses using the windows OS or would the Mac side kick in and block them. Then if it doesnt then I would have to buy an anitvirus.

    Usually restore disks are locked to work only on the computer they came with. Get a new copy of Windows.



    Windows will still be vulnerable to viruses, you'll need antivirus. I use AVG (the free edition).
