Leopard/Parallels/Windows bundle on Mac Warehouse

OEM refers to copies that were sold with a machine. Microsoft has only ever allowed an OEM copy to run on the machine for which it was sold, no other. Not that people always pay attention to that, but that's what MS wants.

I don't think its "legal" to use an OEM version with parallels or on anything other than bundled windows hardware. If I remember correctly, MS has some ridiculous terms in their EULA that pretty much limits you to using a full non-OEM version of windows with parallels... you know... legally.

Carlos: Parallels Inc. says that Parallels Desktop works and is supported just fine with Leopard.

"We've been working with Leopard since its earliest beta forms, and we're confident that Parallels Desktop is compatible with Leopard. Performance is great, and core functionality works smoothly. You'll be able to safely upgrade to Leopard when it goes live without worrying that Parallels will work."

"They're offering a bunch of Leopard, Parallels, and Windows XP (or Vista, but seriously, Vista?) for just $279. That's basically getting Parallels for free, and a little over $100 off the price of XP Pro. "

Your pricing, as written, is way off.

Win XP Pro OEM: $140
Leopard: $109
Parallels: $80

Total: $329
Bundle Savings: $50

Still a good price. But it's no where close to getting Parallels for free and saving $100 in Win XP.

Parallels isn't working on Leopard yet...

@ 10: Boot Camp lets you choose which OS you want to use when you boot up. You can chose between OS X or Windows.

Paralells lets you run both at the same time. So you can have Windows (or Linux, or any other OS really) running in a seperate window.

It also lets you run Windows in full screen, or in a special mode called 'Coherence', which gives you a start menu in your dock and lets Windows apps run side by side with OS X apps.

Being a mac newbie...why would one need parallels if boot camp comes with Leopard?

whats with the OEM lisence for XP and Parallels offered in this budle? how is that diffrent than retail?

Whats better for use in Leopard, VMWare Fusion or Parallels?

Is there any way to get just the new iPhoto without the other iLife applications?

Ohh, iLife comes with new Macs, not operating systems, my bad.
