    I bought a mac and want to install windows on it because I can't live without it. Unfortunately the only copy I have is a XP home upgrade edition. Is there any way of getting around the "upgrade" requirement? If not, is there a very old full windows version out there I can buy at a lower price that will meet this requirement.

    Thanks for your help.
