This question may sound like it has a obvious answer but still...
Where does one buy a full copy of Windows 7 that works best with a Mac and Bootcamp?
I ask this question because in the recent past I purchased a generic copy of Windows XP off the shelf to install on a PC computer. While it installed OK, it ran very poorly because none of the specific hardware drivers for the PC were included on the install disks (it used generic drivers for everything), and the drivers were not available from the hardware manufacturer.
I would like to avoid this situation on the Mac -- so where does one get a copy of Windows 7 that works transparently with the Mac hardware?
All constructive suggestions welcome.

As a secondary operating system on a Mac you should use a Retail pack to be correct but these are getting hard to find. Share with your entire family –for up to 6 people. Confirm your Mac’s requirements: Before getting started, make sure your Mac has the available disk. All firmware updates installed on your Mac; A Windows 7 installation DVD with a Product ID (Full version, not an Upgrade version) If you do not have Windows 7 yet, you can purchase it online at the Microsoft Store. A Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Lion installation DVD; A copy of Boot Camp version 3.3 (4.0 for Mac OS X Lion). How To: Install Windows 7 on a Mac using VMWare Fusion How To: Create an iOS app with a Windows PC How To: Dual Boot Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan & 10.10 Yosemite.

Windows Security Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center, which encompasses both security and maintenance of the computer. Windows 7 also supports images in RAW image format through the addition of Windows Imaging Component-enabled image decoders, which enables raw image thumbnails, previewing and metadata display in Windows Explorer, plus full-size viewing and slideshows in Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Center.
The taskbar has seen the biggest visual changes, where the Quick Launch toolbar has been replaced with the ability to pin applications to the taskbar. Buttons for pinned applications are integrated with the task buttons. These buttons also enable the Jump Lists feature to allow easy access to common tasks.
The revamped taskbar also allows the reordering of taskbar buttons. To the far right of the system clock is a small rectangular button that serves as the Show desktop icon. This button is part of the new feature in Windows 7 called Aero Peek. Hovering over this button makes all visible windows transparent for a quick look at the desktop
