Best Answer

Yes,

Apple has a set of Windows drivers and software called Boot Camp to make Windows "see" the Apple hardware.

As of 10.7 Lion you can only use W7 and above. Apple no longer supports, nor has drivers, for XP or Vista on Apple computers that came installed with Lion. Basically from late 2011 on.

Measuring the market share will depend upon what market you are looking at and how you are measuring the size of the share. Bearing in mind that Windows is an operating system that can be run on an Apple computer and Apple sells both hardware and software: 

One way is to monitor web browsing to see the percentages of different computer platforms. Such a measure gives the Mac around 10% of the market and Windows around 90% (See links below) 

If you define the market as the quality end of computer sales ($1000 and up), which Apple targets, then Apple has around 91% of the market. (See links below)
