    WTB: Old copy of Windows XP

    I ran across a freeware app I'd like to use for a project, but it doesn't come in a Mac version so I'm going to try the Bootcamp route. Anyone have an old copy of XP lying around that they'd be willing to let go cheap?

    google 'tinyxp' a freeware version of xp that you should be able to download, install, and use as a platform for whatever program you wish to use.

    Oh awesome. I'll check it out. Thanks!

    Edit: Though one place seems to suggest that it can't be used in Dual Boot situations. Hmm...
    Edit2: It seems like some people have succeeded but needed to start with the actual XP disk in the computer when formatting the partition then switched to the TinyXP disk at a certain point in the install.
