Networking Mac/PC Windows XP

[Ken Norris]

P.S.

Someone told me I should be able to just D/L the Windows XP version and
transfer the .zip to the PC, then unzip and install there.

I'm a dummy about such things. Will that work??

Actually, if it does (and I'm thinking it should), then I can just use the
crossover Ethernet and filesharing (no need for internet services) to
accomplish my needs.

What say ye?

TIA,
