Re: TRANFER OF LICENSE for WinXP from VPC to Parallels/BootCamp?


Since Microsoft has KILLED Virtual PC for Intel, and therefore
guaranteed that the product I purchased (and the included license of
Windows XP) can no longer be used.

The product you purchased CAN be used.......on a G3, G4 or G5

Since Microsoft is ducking out of the market, taking my money and
running as it were, I think the LEAST they could do would be allow a
legitimate transfer of the Windows XP License to a program that will
allow me to use it on my hardware. At this point it would be either a
transfer to BootCamp, Parallels, or both. VMWare is coming, so that is

a future option.

The choice you made was to purchase the bundled version of VPC with an OEM version of Windows........to save money. Buying the components separately (where you could use Windows on any system) would have cost an extra $100. Paying the extra money would not have left you with the problem you are now facing.


Come on, Microsoft, show us you at least care and aren't leaving us in
the cold. There is no reason I should ahve to pay another couple
hundred bucks for a copy of Windows XP just becuase you pulled the rug
out from under me and aren't going to support the product on the Intel
platform.

So......YOU chose to upgrade to an Intel Mac. YOU chose to purchase the
bundled version of VPC which only allows you to use Windows in a VPC
environment. Why are you blaming Microsoft for your poor choices?
