Mac bootcamp question?

Question

i need to run windows on my mac, if i upgrade to leopard and use bootcamp does that mean i have to buy windows XP/Vista, thanks

Answer 1

Yes you do need to buy a full copy of windows. An upgrade wont work either.

If you are wondering why. It is because you need to eject the disk of an upgrade to insert your previous version of windows (proving you are entitled to the upgrade). But the eject button on your mac DVD drive wont work until you have loaded the windows drivers at the end of the installation.
