I have a business that repair's and maintains computers. I own iMac's and powerbooks and use them as my choice of computer. Buy a PC so I can keep working. I have a steady customer base as long as microsoft keeps putting out their stuff. Apple updates their computers every quarter,or so it seems. you wait till fall for their new OS upgrade and then the next quarter a hardware change take your pick, jump on any time and remember no virus yet. I dont think they will change the macbook anytime soon but who knows. I recommend Mac's to all my family and freinds. Have fun.

Compatibility problems with MAC OS.  That is always the problem with MAC OS.  I recommend that you install windows for mac or other parallel OS softwares that will allow you the option to use those applications.  dual-boot and parallel OS in MAC is the best way to go until MAC OS gets there act together.\n\nHope this helps

It depends on the age of your mac.  The most recent series of macs have been built with Intel processors, built on the x86 architecture (the same as PC's), and so they are compatible with Windows.  Mac has gone even further, and introduced software called bootcamp that will help you install Windows on your mac.\n\nPlease see the link below for more information, and to download the software.

No. Apple now uses Intel dual core chipsets and there are ways to install a dual boot on a Mac so you can run either OS X or XP upon booting the computer. There are ways to emmulate OS X on a PC, but it is slower. As of now, there are no ways to install a full running dual booting OS X on PC machine.

Yes you can run both Windows XP and Mac OS X (not at the same time) on the newer Apple computers (macbook, macbook pro, Imac, mac mini).\nThey now use Intel Processors, so you can install XP on them, then choose which one to boot from.\nTo do so, you can download and install a program called BootCamp (about 85MB or so)  on the Mac, which allows you to boot from either XP or Mac OS X. \nYou can also buy macs with XP preinstalled already at macmall.com.\nYou can't install Mac OS X on a Windows PC, however.\n\nHope this helps.

Hi there....sorry, your question is vague--are you asking if anyone else is experiencing any type of trouble while running Windows on the Mac or are you asking if everyone is satisfied with running Windows on the Mac?\n\nConsider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  You will be able to search and learn more about Windows on Macs under the Windows Compatible Technology section.

There are directions in the comments.  On top of that it only runs on specific hardware with a certain amount of RAM, and you need to have the retail version of OS X 10.4 (Tiger), plus the software to allow OS X to run on the laptop.

I guess it all depends on what you wish to use it for...\n\nI've had many different computers in my time, and by far the most impressive and one requiring the least maintenance has been any of the newer Apple machines with Mac OS X operating system, ie MacMini or iBook/iMac.\n\nThey're very compatible with Windows machines, MS Office is available, but so is OpenOffice which supports MS document formats if you wish to have a free alternative.\n\nOS X machines are also not susceptable to viruses or hacks in anywhere near the magnitude of Windows machines, so are far more stable and secure at present.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I love MS Windows & PCs, but Macs have really changed my perception of what a computer can be. \n\nHope this helps\nMJS

Buy an intel mac then install windows too and dual boot you can run everything plus osx is beautiful and really never crashes but neither does xp if you have enough memory. You'll need windows for alot of stuff though. The guy who said something about the mouse - try the Mighty Mouse it right clicks and has a scroll ball that lets you scroll in multiple directions - ITS AWESOME

You could install mac OSX in a virtual machine - then run your programs there.\n\nIt would be a lot of work, and the performance would really suck, but you could do it.\n\nI've included a link to a website with instructions, if you're interested.

It's a huge change for apple.  All these years windows based machines have always become more like the macintosh in design.  Now for the first time the mac is going to become more like the windows box.  \n\nAlso, there was some concern that it would make the mac easier to hack and that now one could take a mac built machine and throw the windows OS on it, but they supposedly made enough changes to the mac intel chip that, that's not supposed to be possible.\n\nAlso, I heard the intel macs are supposed to be super fast; and also it's new.  \n\nAnything with computers that's new is huge news.

Download BootCamp. BootCamp will allow you to dual boot with Windows XP Home or Pro (but only with Service Pack 2, full install). You may need to update your firmware, as well. BootCamp will let you know if you need to do so. Here's the link. Here's another link to some OS X tips and tricks. \n\nSource(s):\nhttp://www.apple.com/bootcamp/\nhttp://www.apple.com/pro/tips/\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/tips/calcula... \n\nPS: I have a MacBook and WinXP and MacOSX works perfectly fine

If you want an Apple wait a bit. They're gonna release the new Mac with the Intel chip. You'll be able to run OSX and Windows.\nI would wait and buy a MAC when its ready. I wont even tell you what other PC is good because the're all shit compared to MACS.\nALSO REMEMBER HP, GATEWAY, AND EMACHINES have all filed for bankruptcy!!

Download it in Windows format. MAC and Windows are not interchangeable so the only way around this is to go back and download it in the right format. If you paid for it, you will need to contact the people you bought it from and explain the problem and pray that they are sympathetic!
