YES...KIND OFOnly on the MacBooks. THey have Intel Processors, so they can run windows. There are two different ways to do this. One is an emulator. The other is just running it. An emulator, like Paralells Desktop would just pop windows up in another window. Installing it on a separate partition and usinf Apple's boot camp would boot it up and use it as the operating system until you shut it down and booted back up into OSX. I have no experience with either, so I cannot recommend.

If the Mac has an Intel processor (which is all of the recent ones) then Windows can be run alongside the Mac OS. Using software such as Parallels or Fusion Windows can be run in a Window within the Mac OS. (See links below)

No you cannot run Mac on Windows but run Windows on Mac

Be specific now, Windows is an operating system and a Windows machine is what it will run on. There is no "Emulator" to run a Mac-OS on Windows like VMWare, etc.

It's not supported by Apple and is against their license terms, but, Yes, with a lot of hacking, Mac OS "CAN" run on a Windows "machine". It's usually called a "Hackintosh". You have to do a lot of work on the software and it's not for the NON Geek.

How do you install a PC CD ROM game on your MacBook?

Games labelled PC will require the Windows operating system. The MacBook uses the Mac OS X operating system and so games designed for PC/Windows computers will not work on a Mac. You will either need to purchase a version of the game designed for Mac OS X or install the Windows operating system on your MacBook and then use the PC/Windows game.

If a game is designed to run on Windows only then it will not work on a Mac running Mac OS X. Some games come with a version for Windows and Mac OS on the same disc.
