I installed XP with Parallels and experienced no problems at all. XP will behave exactly as it does on a PC and will continue to recieve Windows updates. Just follow the installation instructions and you'll be fine. You won't regret the Mac. -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Payne Sent: 17 November 2011 19:19 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: [FHU] Family Historian to Mac Having heard glowing reports of Mac computers on this user group, I have purchased a Mac Book Pro 10.72 Lion.
