So I need help on this as well.
I have Bootcamp installed, my FFXI and everything. The only thing I need help and clarification on is my windows version.
I do not have an extra Windows version lying around. So it is either buying one or torrenting it. I have heard torrent versions are not that good but its an option.
Now what version should I be focusing on getting.
Windows 7 or try and get a Windows XP Professional....Bootcamp seems to want a Windows 7 version. Any help would be appriciated.
Making an educated guess on how you present yourself, I'd recommend windows 7 just to make it easier.
Anything above windows XP will be fine. These days most people prefer windows 7, but a fully upgraded windows vista will perform similarly as well. If you have an older system windows XP will almost undoubtedly be capable of running faster on it, but if you have a newer system, Windows 7 will make the installation process less painful (built in support for the newer adapters that may otherwise stop windows XP from being able to install smoothly without doing a slipstream, which is something I wouldn't recommend to someone who doesn't have copies of windows lying around).
Legal copies of windows are always preferred, but .... you do what you gotta do ;)
