I would like someone to try and get back to me.
For instance if one does not plan on using XP on the net i.e. for say
using their old software and games but not getting on the net with
itt and using OSX for net traffic and such perhaps XP in that fashion
would not need patches/and upgrades and there for MS permision
would not be an issue? I know since I bought the licensee or paid
for it originally I would not have a problem using XP in this fashion
myself.
