Best Answer

Software is designed to work with a particular operating system. The Mac uses the Mac OS X operating system but you can also install the Windows operating system on a Mac. Windows is usually installed on a Mac by using Boot Camp (see the assistant in the Utilities folder) or with an emulator such as Parallels (See links below). With Windows installed the Mac can then use Windows software.
