Legal or pirate copy?


Legal copies can be bought at the MicroSoft booth on the 6th floor of the station building. OEM of MS-XP home edition (SP2) for about 110k.

Pirate copies can be bought in the tunnel for about 20k.

Legit? About anywhere, an OEM version will cost 89,000 or so.

Not legit: Tunnel between Sinyoungsan and Sunin Building where all of the computer parts are (I think it's called "Sunin").

Thank you for your replies. I am running Parallels on my MacBook Pro. I need to install Windows Xp on it. Thanks!

Can it run Vista?

I wonder if you'd even want to go with that... I probably wouldn't go with Vista, anyway.

the license agreement with VISTA forbids running it as a virtural machine (i.e. bootcamp/parallels) unless you have the Ultimate Edition.

Vista doesn't run on parrellels. XP deos.. Vista can run in bootcamp.

Cheap windows XP hmm.. Willing to shell out big bucks for a Mac but not for PC software? I hope that you regularly pirate Mac software as well. You can download xp through torrent.. Oh wait its a mac does it even have torrent software Razz (I know it does just making a bad joke)

Yes, I have a mac and I use torrent software all the time. In fact, millions of people have Apple laptops and download torrents in the same fashion PC users do.

Search for OS X bittorrent clients.
