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.

I use a windows based laptop.  It is a Dell D610.  I have been doing a little bit of homework on the MAC vs Windows question because we have folks in our company (in marketing, and in product design ) who want Mac.  What I have found is that the people who are attached to the MAC are attached to it because of perception and maybe the style.  Today there isnt a piece of (necessary) business software on the MAC that cannot be matched on the Windows platform.  Additionally, if a company needs to manage both platforms the cost will not be double, it will be a bit more...

Apple has some absolutely fantastic new laptops out that can run both the critically acclaimed Mac OS x, and Microsoft Windows XP.\n\nI would suggest you check out an Apple store, or the online store.

Well, you can't, I'm not a Mac user but I'm pretty sure that you can't purchase OSX 10.2 anymore.  The latest version is OSX 10.4 Tiger.  I'm going to say that you'll have to buy Tiger and reformat your computer.  I don't know if you can upgrade from 10.1.5 to Tiger or not but I'm pretty sure you can't.\n\nWhether or not you can run Tiger also depends on your system specs which requires you to have a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor at 600MHz or faster and 256MB of memory and a DVD drive.

I would pick apple.  In my experinces, I've had far less problems using mac os x than with windows.  Sure, there is more software for windows, but all of the major names work with mac os x (even micrsoft office).  The operating systems are about equal in terms of ease of use if you're a person who is moderately good with computers.  One thing about mac os x is that you don't have to worry about viruses as much and you wont have to worry about spyware or adware at all.  I went mac 3 years ago and I highly doubt if I will ever go back to windows.  For me it just works better.  You'll get some people who are die hard mac fans/microsoft haters and some who are microsoft fans/mac haters.  I think both operating systems have their advantages and disadvantages.  For me mac os x advantages outwiegh it's disadvantages.

You can inside a virtual machine, Parallels for Mac is supposed to be pretty good.\n\nYou can read about it at http://www.parallels.com/ and virtual machines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine

Dear Friend,\n\nAll these configuration is good, try to get IBM and their products and APPLE and their products.\n\nDid u remember before year of 95, two kinds of softwares will be there one for TEXT-Mode (DOS mode) and another GUI-mode (Windows mode) for IBM computers. But not after Windows 95 (OS).\n\nStill there are softwares are available different OS. Like WINDOWS, LINUX, UNIX, HP-UX, SOLARIS. All are not available for MAC.\n\nI think you will get it or mail to me.

Mac OS is the operating system for the Macintosh computers.  It probably will not  work on a PC, or at best very poorly.\n\nIf you want an alternative OS, you could try the UNIX world.  There are many variants but they work very much the same.  Most are pricey but LINUX is free.  If you have been working strictly in Windows, you will find that these are aimed at keyboard specialists.  They do come with GUI interfaces, but their strength lies in the greater variability of the written word as opposed to the point and shoot characteristics of Windows.\n\nIf you are interested but unsure, try operating your computer in DOS mode for a while and see if suits your style.  I have no idea how to get here (Yahoo Answers) from DOS since my ISP is strictly GUI.

Mac's in general are more stable then windows that's for sure!! OS x is an excellent OS.

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.

I regret to say that you will not get there full explanation: the subject is not so simple.\nWhat do you intend to get from your computer? If - toying, mailing, browsing, XP will be enough for you. Note that last MAC operating systems are BSD-UNIX-based: they are professional OS'es. You can get with them everything you want -- but you will also learn a lot of (very interesting!) things...

Just to clarify the early statement. There are some core pieces of the Mac OS that are not supported on the PC side. So it is not likely that we will see anything like that happen. But if you have an old machine laying around you might take a stab at a flavor of linux.

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.
