is there a way to run a mac os and software on my windows pc?

Yes but you have to hack it and illegally pirate it ;-)\n\n-- Not recommended.

No, not unless you use a MAC OS X emulator for a windows PC. You cannot install Mac on a Win PC but you can install a Win on a Mac. \n\nThe first one who answered this told you that you can, but based on what he was trying to say is, he is also telling to use an emulator for a non apple computer. \n\nBut getting a formatted drive of an Apple computer and installed it in a Win PC, would only cause it to crash. Apple computers use certain processors that Win PCs do not.

I think you should boot up and remove that program. Sounds kinda flaky. Why on earth you would want a mac on a pc I dont know. Best thing to do is to install a Linux based OS. That will give that "Mac" feel. and you can still maintain a secondary OS such as XP.

You can install Mac OS X on IBM-PC compatible machines. Apple has come with a new operation system Mac OS X Tiger which canbe installed on PC with Intel/AMD processor. Visit this link to buy the operating system ... http://www.apple.com/macosx/

Yes, and there is even a official (and free) tool from Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/\nApple Bootcamp allows to to install your desired flavor of Windows XP in a Mac-Intel.\nBut seriously, who in the world would to that? It's like replacing your car's engine with that of a lawnmover's. Ok, for testing purposes it's OK I guess, but you should rather go virtual when a version of VMware will be available for Mac OS X.

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.

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.

Nope, but Apple has software available that lets you run Windows on an Apple computer.

On the brand new Macs ( http://www.apple.com ) you can. You can on the older ones too with extra software.

If you intend to use software like NORTON, make sure (on the package) its compatible with MAC/OS X. \n\nIf you would like to run windows applications on a MAC you cant, unless you use this new application from APPLE known as BOOT CAMP, which runs windows on a mac.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/\n\nHope this helps!

ok i suggest this for alot of companies cause its cheaper when you consider there is no licensing fees and after using the unix linux and microsoft alternatives its easier. Try an apple xserve and osx server they can help you with this stuff and yes they are completely compatable with windows. i find alot of companies i work with use the macintosh backbone and install windows machines for the end user so they have the power stablity and easy of use that comes with mac without having to retrain all their employees

A "Mac" is an Apple Macintosh computer:\nhttp://www.apple.com/getamac/\nThe new systems (Intel CoreDuo) can run BOTH Apple and Windows operating systems.  \n\nA "PC" is the term used for "Personal Computers" running Microsoft Windows:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.mspx\n\nI have Windoze at work and Macs at home\nA laptop at work is a Dell that had the hard drive die less than a year after purchase - Our Dell desktops have been more reliable (so far)...\n\nCompUSA http://www.compusa.com/\ncarries both Apple and Windows systems -- I'd suggest going to take a test drive and talking to some people at the store.  Unfortunately, not too many of the sales staff really know both systems, so keep asking around.  Also talk to other photographers and find out what they have (and what they wish they had).\n\nFor Photos, the Mac is probably your best option - it comes with iPhoto and Adobe PhotoShop is pretty much native to Macs.  It also can run a large variety of software: http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/; http://www.apple.com/software/\nThere are two MacBook options - MacBook and MacBook Pro:\nhttp://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/comparison_chart.html

First of all this is illegal and i in no way support it but there is a patched version of OS X for x86 that wil run on any pc. \n\nhttp://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/\n\nlook under the obtaining this software section.\n\nto run along XP, you will need to \na)get a new hard drive which would be the easiest method or\nb)partition your hard drive which will mean that you will have to reinstall windows and you will lose everything

Also take a look at Majorgeeks. This is one of the best sites online for shareware/freeware and they recently added a Mac section.\n\nhttp://mac.majorgeeks.com/
