Bootcamp: Is this the kind of XP I need & Is ebay safe?

[AdventurousJosh]

If I buy this windows XP, will it work with my Macbook? Also, has anybody bought software from ebay? I'm nervous about being scammed. How does this look, too?

Thank you so much!

I've bought software from ebay and if you're careful you're fine. if the deal looks too good to be true, it usually is. but the item you linked (which will work with your macbook, by the way) is being sold by a power-seller. they have more than 10,000 items of feedback, with 99.7% of them being positive. so, you should be fine with purchasing that copy of windows from that seller. go for it!

It's cheap because it's an OEM version. XP Home Edition for System Builders OEM has been like $90 since it came out.
