Parallels Desktop official in Apple Stores with rebate offer

Yup, you can easily get an OEM version of XP SP2 for $80-100. You don't even have to buy a USB cable or mouse with it.

You don't get official Windows support, but it's a much, much better deal and well worth it.

So they can sell you WIndows at OEM prices if you buy a USB cable or a Microsoft Mouse?

If windows on a mac makes you feel sick then don't put windows on your mac and don't worry about what is on other peoples macs then you won't feel sick.

#1: Yes! It looks a LOT like the box in that video. It's got your bullet list, your big round sticker, your logos galore...everything but the people with the smiling faces (and the fold-out system requirements list).

I saw this @ my local CompUSA with-Apple-Employee full time, right next to Windows XP in the Mac section. Why not buy them both from the same place? I imagine some of the CompUSA guys could tell you a thing or two about Windows; I don't imagine Apple Store employees know that much about Windows XP . . .

Windows on a Mac allowed me to get rid of old PC laptop that I had to have for my mortgage software. Unfortunately, much of the real estate and finance industry is Windows only and having Parallels allows me to pop in to do my business apps while in OS X.

I reported this days ago on my old blog (now transferred).
I even sent TUAW the news tip that they were already in the Apple Stores, but paid me no attention :'(

Window on a Mac may make you feel sick, but Windows on a Mac was enough to make me switch from a loyal PC user. I very rarely have to boot to XP to do anything. I believe Windows on a Mac may be just what many needed to switch to Apple.

Windows on a Mac makes me sick. Who is with me on this?

The rules for OEM purchases are pretty lax. I got an OEM copy of XP a while back and it came with a broken SIMM module, which was all that is needed to satisfy the OEM condition..
