Re: [CGUYS] first iMac question ug Vista
Ultimate and the Business premium I was mentioning are the same cat. And the prices you show there are for OEM. The licence on OEM specifically prohibits it being installed in a virtual computer. MS wants them to spend a whole bunch for a full copy of Business or Ultimate to use it that way.

Re: [CGUYS] first iMac question ug Vista
There are four flavors of Vista. Home, Home basic, Business and Business Premium. Actually, there are five: Home, Home Basic, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate (what you are calling Business Premium, I think), in ascending order of what they contain (this can be read to be more good stuff or more stuff to make my life complicated). Enterprise is like the Business version (MS calls it the premium business edition [no caps]), with a few more items in it to make it easier to administer centrally. The average schmo (which is what some software companies think of us, I believe) buying for personal use will not be interested in Enterprise. And, of course, they all come in 32- and 64-bit versions, which for XP Pro led to a different flavor (too many things behave differently from 32-bit XP Pro), but perhaps not so with Vista.

No it is also being interpreted as being for sale to folks who build their own. Newegg sells them with a warning, --- * Disclaimer: Qualifying proof of purchase must be recent receipts showing the purchase of a mother board, hard drive, RAM and a CPU. The components can be on multiple receipts; not necessarily all on one receipt nor on the same receipt as the qualifying Windows XP/Office 2003 that you purchased. This allows OEM's to be purchased by everyday schlubs like me without having to have or obtain a sales tax certificate from the state. This does not allow someone to go out and buy it and then resell it. Your using an old interpretation of OEM. It was for manufacturers to get deep discounts on OS's that everyday schlubs like me could not get. It has been loosened up so that builders like me can get it, but not at as deep a discount. (I bet Dell does not pay $95.00 per copy for their windows XP's) By the way they did this with 98 also. I built a few systems years ago and ordered as many 98's as I did systems. They were all OEM's coming in plain black and white CD holders. Stewart At 10:50 AM 9/24/2007, you wrote: I could buy an OEM to go along with the system I built this past year.

Re: [CGUYS] first iMac question ug Vista
Any particular wife or just one of the bunch ? I have just loaded XP onto a new MacBook Pro and it's running quite well - now. I'm using Bootcamp which is the Apple provided software for making their computers bootup with Windows. Parallels on the other hand allows the Mac OS the Windows OS to operate side by side without rebooting. Not surprisingly this requires considerably more resources from the hardware in terms of RAM. Unless you have some crying need for Vista I would suggest that XP will make like easier and perhaps zippier. Also take care with things like Windows updates. Both Bootcamp and Parallels make some assumptions about what they expect in the way of a Windows OS. If you update things needlessly you could break those expectations. The need for virus protection and other such prophylactics that are needed to protect Windows from the cold, cruel world go away IF you use the Mac OS for email and web browsing and restrict the Windows OS to local operations only. And exactly what is a ' UG ' anyway ? == in reply to ... Bought wife a new iMac 2.4g 24. lots of questions. got parallels, now she says she needs a(n) MS OS. I think all Vista UG needs to see XP to UG. can she use a new copy of vista UG and one of the xp's we have laying around to load vista on her machine? does she want/need the 64 bit version? -- E.

From everything I've read, Windows Vista is Windows XP with more security stuff turned on breaking drivers and programs but doing a better job at security. Good in some respects, bad in others. Since playing HD DVD's isn't a big deal on this Mac, I don't need Vista. Security Now has had podcasts about Vista along with Windows Weekly(??). I did something similar. I bought a Mac Parallels this past summer and went to Best Buy and bought a copy of Windows XP. I had lots of problems installing it and tech support said We think you have an upgrade copy... I looked and I had bought an upgrade copy. I had never noticed. Best Buy wouldn't take it back (no exchange plus cash if for the right one if they would've had any). So I ordered one from Buy.com, ten minutes after I clicked buy, I realized I needed some stuff from amazon.com, bought it there, went back to buy.com to cancel, clicked cancel, they said okay. A day and half later, I get an email saying Oooops, the order had already gone into the system. Contact us for an RMA and we will take it back. I'm still waiting for the stuff for amazon.com to show up, I don't remember what is slowing things down, but in the end I'm going to either have two copies of Windows XP Home or have to hassle with sending one back.
