Sorry, Richard, but I agree with Jim. This is too far off list.

It is not even to install Windows on a VM or BootCamp.

This is very interesting. I subscribe to several forums devoted to
Windows users, and questions about Mac operating systems come up all the
time. I have NEVER seen any of the Windows users rebuff questions about
Mac systems there. This is pretty revealing.

Ardell, if it had been how to run Windows on a Mac, or Sync an iPhone to a PC, I would have no problems with it.

But how to buy buy a new copy of Windows XP for a PC, there is no connection to any Apple product.

And the obvious answer is to look on Craig's List, ebay or some such, especially since it has not been sold by MS for years.

I'm not a moderator, only a list member. I come here for Apple product issues, no PC or Windows issues.

I was given Apple TV for my birthday. I've not played with it much - but is there a way to add an app to it?
There are a few things I would like to do but haven't figured out….go to a website and stream (I have streamed breaking news on my iPad - but would like to do that on Apple TV). I'd also like to install apps on there.

Hubby set up something on my computer - but I have no clue what it is or how it works. When I ask him (he's a PC guy) he says he doesn't know.

Argh!

Thanks for any help!

Jennifer
