A fresh OEM disc should work. But if it's been previously installed and validated on another machine, then it won't automatically validate again. You have to call and get a number to enter...

Between not having to pay $200 in sales tax (Ca.) and a $200 Amazon rebate, I got my base system for less $200 than the education discount would have gotten me. Plus, Amazon had to ship it overnight...

Well, my biggest complaint is the loss of the Apple Menu, which I could configure as complex as I needed.

Another way is to have the WMP for Macs installed and just open the sirius page in Safari. When it trieds to play the file and can't, it will let you open the file in WMP which plays it just fine.

It's possible, though you can't wipe OSX, you have to be able to run Boot Camp to emulate BIOS.

But, IMHO, it's inadvisable.

The Windows drivers are a bit spotty and have a few quirky...
