Parallels for running Windows XP on your Intel-chip Mac: buy from MU bookstore. You will also need a separate real Windows CD that installs the full version (not just an upgrade) of Windows XP with Service Pack 2. LDA does recommend running Vista with your Parallels, because Vista is problematic still on its own. You can buy XP CDs from http://www.royaldiscount.com/miwixpprosp21.html You will want 1gig of RAM on your Mac to comfortably run Parallels/XP. 2gig is better: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/
