What does this mean, attach your ISO image to it? Where does the typical WindowsXP configuration take place?

Just curious, seems like a lot of people are in this same camp? please reply if you are so that folks at parallels can determine how widespread this issue is or not. Thanks

Mac is short for Macintosh.

MAC is Media Access Control.

Confusing isn't it? Have you learned anything useful from this?
