Can Macbook use Windows OS?

what you need is the boot manager called "bootcamp". with this boot manager you can setup a macbook with both OS's Mac OS and Windows XP. while booting the macbook you decide which OS you want to run.\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

all above answer are true\nBUT - MS Windows is still based on DOS - (though it uses only Basic Functions of DOS for running Windows)\nand its definitely and totally different from the operating system used by the Mac

Installing Windows on your Mac will not replace or remove your Macintosh operating system (ie OSX). When you turn on the computer you choose which operating system you want to use. More info at: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

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...you need to buy an apple laptop which comes with the new Intel core duo processor which supports Windows XP....but my choice would be to stick with the OS X as it is a more reliable and stable operating system.

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.

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

Windows has many more security vulnerabilities than the Mac OS. This is not just because Windows has a larger install base; the underlying OS in Mac, FreeBSD, is much harder to hack.\n\nI find the Mac OS user interface far more pleasant to use than Windows as well, but that's a matter of personal preference. As far as software, most business productivity titles are available for both platforms, and the multimedia offerings from Apple, at least at the consumer level, are unparalleled in the Windows world.

Get the 17" MacBook Pro, with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. And, it's only one inch thin.\n\nUnbelievably fast, incredibly beautiful. Only a Mac.\n\nPlus, it runs Windows

Mac with Intel is wonderful.  New Macbook laptop is sooo easy to use.  You have the option to run windows or tiger,  Software is simple, I am able to transfer my ipod between a windows computer and this laptop with no problems, so It handles some windows software with no issue.  Stick with a mac and stay away from the dark world of windows!!!

It depends on your plan of use. If you plan to use if for office, then its better to use windows because it has programs like word, powerpoint, excel, etc which is really useful in the office. but if you are in the magazine or publication then its better to use a mac os because of the sound and picture quality is very good.\n\nanother difference is that with windows there are a lot of softwares and programs available in the market  that can be compatible with the os because windows comprise almost 80% of all the computer in the world. but the downside is that because of this there are also alot of people familiar with windows already hence the proliferation of alot of viruses, bugs, worms,etc that can infect your computer. On the other hand, even though that there is not alot software/programs for an apple or a mac because it only comprise 15% (5% all other os) of the world's computers, you can be sure that your computer has less possibilty of being infected by viruses. \n\nAside from being more user friendly, there is this fact that you cannot clone a mac. everything i done by apple. there are no spareparts for an apple thus increasing the security of a mac computer.\n\npricing also does make a very big difference. due to the exclusiveness of a mac computer, its very expensive compared to a windows computer. but if you think you cant handle viruses and your computer crashing, so i think a mac is a very good investment.\n\nthis are some of the point i can share with you about a mac and a windows os. now its up to you to make the choice.

Apple laptops come with OS X as the operating system.\n\nThere are some differences with windows.  OS X is a BSD based operating system.  The BSD family of operting systems is the most secure in the world.  The look and feel is slightly different.  According to human factors engineers and reviewers the setup is more intuitive although it does take a little adjusting to.\n\nBecause, the operting system is different your windows applications will not work on this computer.  But, there are Mac alternatives to most programs and companies like Microsoft produce programs like Microsoft Office for Mac.  Many of the popular games now run on mac systems.  Apple also bundles a suite of applications with the computer that would cost thousands to get for PC.\n\nReviewers consider OS X to be the best desktop operating system.  They have said it's much better than windows xp and is still better than wwhat they have seen of windows vista (the next windows os).\n\nIf you are going to do audio or video you pretty much want to go mac.  All of the best tools are for mac and the industry is all using mac.  Pro level tools are at a home level price with mac too.\n\nAlso, if you are going into IT.  Not Microsoft certified server management (Microsoft servers are only a small fraction of networks in IT) but IT/network management then macs are a great setup for that.\n\nSolaris is available for computers running x64 and x86 processors which is your standard desktop computer.\n\nIf you are looking for something similar to solaris that will run on the same hardware, gets rave reviews, and is also a unix style system check out FreeBSD.  http://www.freebsd.org\n\nI went mac a few years ago after using open source and windows for years.  I have even programmed for both.  Mac, right now, is the best system I have ever used.  The new MacBooks are the system I have most drooled over in my life.
