AppleBook with parallels XP ?

[Alex-Hawaii]

I have an applebook with parallels installed with XP Pro. How can I obtain
SP1 or SP2 and updates? I guess microsoft doesn't have updates for MACs. Do
I need these updates?
Thanks

Parallels is just a program that simulates a computer for a guest operating
system (in your case, Windows). As far as Windows is concerned, it's running
on its own machine and doesn't even know the Mac exists. You just need to
download the SP2 (SP3, now) file from Microsoft's website and install.
You're not doing Mac updates for the PC, it's the same PC updates as you
would do if Windows was running on it's own machine.

This is SP3, which includes all updates between SP2 and when SP3 came out.

Enjoy.
