What is the disadvantange of using an Apple computer instead of a PC?
You cannot run Windows only programs unless you install Windows on your Apple computer and dual boot. Other than that there are no other disadvantages and many advantages.
Can i use pc's programs in an apple computer?
No, you cannot use a Windows "Program" (application) on a Mac. If it ends with .exe then it can only be opened/used with a Windows OS. And no you can't use an Apple OS program on a Windows OS. You can now use Apples "Boot Camp" program to make a partition on the Mac computer to use a Windows OS now. Or you can use something like Parallels, VM Ware, etc, to "emulate" a Windows OS on a Mac.

Can you only run Apple programs on Apple computers or can your run Windows programs as well?
Apple computers come with an operating system called Mac OS X and only software written for Mac OS X will work with them.However modern Apple computers use Intel processors which means that they can also run the Windows operating system. If you have Windows installed on your Apple computer then you can run Windows software.AnswerThere are a few ways to run Windows programs on your Mac: 1. You can install Windows as a separate operating system on your Mac using BootCamp (see http://www.apple.com/macosx/compatibility/)2. You can run Windows inside of Mac OS X using an emulator such as Parallels Desktop(http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/), VMWare Fusion(http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/), or VirtualBox(http://www.virtualbox.org). VirtualBox is free to download and use, and the others offer free demos for download.3. (Advanced) You can run Windows programs through using Wine, which can be installed for free on Mac OS X, but takes some time and computer savvy (see http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Installing and http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Building).

Nearly all programs are availble for Macs and PCs, so the only major programs that are better for Apple computers are the ones actually made by Apple, such as its video editing (iMovie) and music editing (Garageband)
Can you instoll Mac Programs on Windows?
Software is written to work with a particular operating system. Windows software requires the Windows operating system and Mac software requires Apple's Mac OS X. The two are not interchangeable. A Mac can run the Windows operating system and thus Windows software but Mac OS X can only be used on Apple's own computers.
