Don't listen to all that crap about how you should get Linux or buy a Mac instead of buying Windows. That will probably be the dumbest choice in your life. This is the full version of windows OEM software. Comes with activation code and Vista upgrade coupon to either Vista Home Basic or Home Premium. Bought from Tiger Direct through amazon.
 This item was useless to me--no activation code August 21, 2007

This item is useless to me. I purchased it to install Windows XP on my new iMac using VmWare with Mac OS-X. It came without an activation code required by Microsoft, so it could not be installed. Tiger Direct refused to do anything about this and Amazon would only refund my money plus a small promotional certificate.
This does not begin to compensate me for the trouble and delays in making full use of my computer.

I purchased this because some software simply won't run without one variety of Windows or another, and this one seemed the best fit for the best price. And I cannot really complain about it, because it is exactly what I expected... almost.
I am still having trouble with the pop-up that presents itself after each boot-up. It warns me that my system is not safe from viruses, malware, spyware, etc. This is hilarious. I have no sooner purchased the product from Microsoft, installed it, and the product itself is telling me that it is inadequate! Of course, the Security Center helpful directs me to anti-virus software choices, essentially all of which will add to my effective price of purchasing this product. Madness.
Exactly what I needed to run on a mac! January 18, 2008

Bought to install with Fusion on a mac, and it worked just perfectly! Since I just wanted to run XP for a few things, like Netflix instant viewing- which works great!! - I didn't want to spend a ton of money on XP and this turned out to be the perfect solution.
Shipping from Tigerdirect was SUPER FAST (2 day even though I picked ground) and it installed perfectly. So glad not to be in Vista :)
also - I was really struggling with whether to buy XP Pro instead, which is what I had always had on my pc computers, but Fusion takes over internet connection and other networking issues, so I was glad I saved the $50 by buying home ed. and I hardly notice any difference.
